How do i create a text box in form that can be changed in form vi

Hello I wonder if someone could help me. Im fairly new to access and dont
really understand all the codes and such like.
I have created a database for work to save time etc. ive created several
different sorts of forms etc. and not really had too amny problems.
However i have now created a form which i am using as a "fax" coverpage. i
want to create a text box that i ca type a generic msg in so it shows on all
records which i have done but i also want to beable to change the text to
personalize the msg in form view without having to go into design view. is
this possible to do and if so how do i do it.
I thank you in advance any infomation wil be gratefully reiceved.

Forms are not for printing. Forms are used to view, add, and modify data by
the user. A Fax Coversheet would be a REPORT. Reports are used for
printing. To put data in a field on your report "on the fly", either add a
field to your form and have the user type it there before pressing the
"Print coversheet" button. That button would then open your report with the
data needed. OR - Prompt the user to make the entry when the report opens.
This is commonly done by including an unbound text box on the form or by
having a modal pop up and allowing the user to enter the "notes".
