Hello,

I have a xml scheme, where one tag is defined as xs:string
where whitespace handling is set to "preserve"...Thus I
would like to keep white spaces of any kind and also line
breaks.

Now I designed a form with infopath, where the xml tag is
connected to an usual input field. I want Infopath to do a
line break when pressing "return". I know, that I can
force the input field to do line breaks if the input is
too long, but not how to make it accept my wanted returns!

My question: Is it possible in infopath to do thosde
wanted line breaks?

Thanks a lot! Tina

Double-click the text field in the view. On the Display tab of the Text Box Properties dialog box, select the Paragraph Breaks check box.

Thanks, but I already selected that checkbox...
means: it does make a line break if the input is too long,
but it definitely does not react on forced paragraph breaks!

But thanks for your answer...:)

I know this works just fine with a standard Text Box control in InfoPath.

Try this: Create a new blank form and drag a Text Box into the view. Set the Paragraph Breaks check box, and then extract the form files to a folder.

Compare the myschema.xsd file that InfoPath created with your own schema and see what the difference is.

Thank for your suggestions,

it even does not work with a new, blank form, where I only
put in such a standard text box. It just does not do what I
want, so i give up.
Its not THAT important though I just cant understand why
you get it work, but I dont.

Thanks a lot!

Now that the official SP1 release is available -- update to that and try again.
