Outlook form
 

In the outlook form that I created, i have a text box where the user can list
names of documents that are being sent. The problem is that you can't hit
enter in the text box, the only way to get to the next line is by holding
down the space bar until the first line is over. Is there anyway you can hit
enter to get to the next line? also is there anyway the user can use bullets?
Thanks

Make sure the text box is set for multiline, either on the Properties dialog or the Advanced Properties dialog.

Bullets are not an option.

I just checked the text box advanced properties dialog and next to multiline
it says true, which should mean that the text box is set for multiline. When
i hit enter inside the texbox, the pointer moves to a differnt text box in
the form and not to the next line in the original text box. any other
suggestions? Thanks

In the Advanced Properties list, under EnterKeyBehavior, is it set to True?
