Line Breaks in a TOA?

In the Table of Authorities dialog box, the "Print Preview" pane shows the
TOA entries broken into 2 lines.  Is there a way to actually accomplish this
without inserting the line-breaks after the table generates (and therefore
having to do it everytime you update the table)?

I am using Word 2003.

I tried using the SYMBOL field to insert a 010 (line break) character into
the long-form cite in the TA field, but that did not work.

Thanks in Advance

In the long citation you need to insert a manual line break. This is done by
pressing SHIFT+ENTER. The manual line break symbol will look like the
character on your keyboard to indicate "enter".

My suggestion is for you to turn on your hidden characters and search for TA
\L. Place your cursor where you would like the long cite broken and then
press SHIFT+ENTER. Search for the next long citation.

Then be sure to turn off the hidden characters so that your pagination of
your Table will be correct before you update the table.

Wow, thanks.  I had tried that, but the line breaks seemed to remain visible
even when the "show hidden" was turned off, so I thought it did not work.  I
just tried it again and see that it does work as expected.

I appreciate the help and the link.
