how to include an apostrophy inside a string

I am doing a row update in a table and the text contains a ' character, just
wondering how to do this?
for example
UPDATE table
SET field2 = 'text to enter to table's but does not work'
WHERE field1 = 133
the second apostrophy I want to not end the text section with.
Thanks.

UPDATE table
SET field2 = 'text to enter to table''s but does not work'
WHERE field1 = 133

retreive a long text field and then copy and paste it to a word doc it looks
like it only returns the first portion of the large text string. Also is
there anyway to view a large text field from query analyzer when you open the
table? thanks again.

that you should look in Tools--> Options --> Results --> Maximum charcters
per column
to increase it to 8000

Results in File
or you use OSQL on the commandline with the -o <outputfile >switch
