Change Field Captions And Descriptions Access 2013

Change Field Captions And Descriptions:
  1. Click the Fields tab. 
  2. Click the ContactName field. 
  3. Click Name & Caption. 
  4. In the Enter Field Properties popup window, change the Caption field to Contact Name, and for the Description type Name of company contact. 
  5. Click OK. The title for the column is now displayed with a space via the Caption property, and the description will be displayed on the lower left on the status bar. 
TIP: One of the most common field data types to add is Short Text. The default field size is 255 characters (shown on the ribbon below Default Value). If you need only 20 characters, reducing the field size can help prevent you from accidentally storing more information than can be displayed—for example, when you have positioned a field on a form or report to be a specific size. Otherwise, do not worry about making it smaller just to save space.
