Hi guys

Can anyone help me with this one? We have FILLIN and ASK Word Field Codes in documents and want to add a line feed or character return into the prompt

Does anyone know anyway of doing this please? (Even if the workaround is long winded!!)

Thanks

Hi sugarflux,

Can't be done. However, if you pad the field out with enough space characters, you can force a line-wrap. You'll probably only be able to get one line-wrap, as the prompt is limited to 255 characters.

Cheers
