Default Can only enter 4 characters in Client Table

I'm using Access for college for the first time, and I cannot enter more than
4 characters in each field of the Client Table (name, address, etc.). Any
help would be appreciated. Thanks.

From what I can see, you have set up each text field to allow only 4
characters.

Figured it out. Field size was set to 4 for some reason.

Open the Table in design view. Select each of these fields, and make
sure that the datatype is Text; and the size (in the properties at the
lower left of the screen) is adequate for your data. My guess is that
you've somehow set the size of the field to... four characters.
