Textfile as a datasource for MailMerge in MS Word - how to insert manual linebreak instead of paragraph mark in field?


I have created a textfile as a datasource for a mailmerge in microsoft word. This is working great. Now, i have fields which contains multiline values. When I use this field in the template it creates a "hard" line break (paragraph mark). What does I have to insert into the textfile, that word will creating a "soft" line break (manual line break)?


Solution

  • first:apologize for bad english grammar or vocabulary use.

    • the way is working with {quote} in ms-word, for example {quote 11} is line break or {quote 12} is page break.
    • to set it in your document, you should familiar with fields.

    press Ctrl+F9 to insert field and then insert "quote ##" (## is any number charchode) in it. then press F9 to Enter and execute.
