I've never liked the "Mark Citation" form used for table of athorities that
comes with Word 2000 so I'm creating a better one. I'm using a textbox on my
form to mark the text but when I place the value of the text box
(textbox.value) into the document, any manual line breaks entered into the
box come out as a hard returns in the document. Is there a value to output
the value of the textbox into the document with the Manual line breaks placed
properly? Do I need to dim a variable as a particular type and assign the
textbox.value to that variable before I output it?

How do you enter the manual line break in the Textbox?

I GOT IT!

I just had to change the EnterKeyBehavior to True on that textbox. I just
press the Enter key (NOT Shift + Enter) to create a new line and the output
is a manual line break when I paste the value of the textbox into Word.

Although, Shift + Enter has the same effect as Enter when that
EnterKeyBehavior is changed to True. Both times the output is a manual line
break

Wait! I spoke too soon. That didn't fix it. I forgot about a routine I
wrote which replaces the paragraph with a manual line break after the text
has been inserted. I had it near the bottom of the code and I couldn't see
it when I changed the EnterKeyBehavior to True. So that solution didn't
work, just the "Replace paragraph with Manual Line Break" routine was fixing
it. That routine would work except the user doesn't always put a manual line
break in the textbox and if the routine ran every time, it would delete text
from the document.

Long Story short...I still need a way to output the textbox.value into the
document with manual line breaks instead of paragraphs.

SHIFT + Enter.

If I could just press Enter and that could create a manual line break in the
output, I would be fine with that.
