Application:  Columizer

Version: 4.1

Purpose:  Use Columizer to manipulate text, or to ad-hoc query and print from any Access database. 

Description:
Columizer allows you to move, add, replace, and/or delete text in a file.  Re-format text copied from web pages, so that when the copied text is pasted into a word processor, the lines are not truncated haphazardly.  Turn delimited text into columns of information, such as you'd see in a database or a spreadsheet.  Delimited text can also be turned into separate lines of information.  A single column of data can be turned into a row, and then saved in a table.  Columnized information, and the details entered to manipulate the original text, can be saved to a database.  This is great for cases where delimited text files must be repeatedly processed (e.g.  weekly, or monthly).

Features:
- Write and execute SQL queries to create a table and/or query a table in any Access database, and save SQL queries for re-use.
- Print ad hoc queries of any Access database.
- Open, edit, sort, filter, and delete a table, or save it as another name.
- On the Text/Lines tab, re-format text that was copied from Internet pages with the click of a button.
- Print (manipulated) text, or data from tables.
- Also on the Text/Lines tab, click the Create Line button to turn a column of data into a row.  The row can then be saved into a table. 
- On the Format Text tab, delimited text can be turned into new lines, or new columns, at each delimiter.
- On the Columize Text tab, enter details which will be used to arranged text into columns of information.
- On the Settings tab, all details entered can be saved to a database, and retrieved the next time you want to perform the same type of text manipulation.
- The Save to Database tab allows you to save columized text to Columizer's database, or another Microsoft Access database you specify.
