What are the ASCII codes to insert a line break in to a string? I have a
document with a form field which will be set programmically to display
an address in

name
addressLine1
addressLine2
city, state zipCode

format.

mystr = Name & vbCr & addressLine1 & vbCr & addressLine2 & vbCr & city & ",
& state zipCode

That assumes that Name, addressLine1, addressLine2, etc are variables

Hope this helps.

I'm trying to put the string in a form field using...

.FormFields("AccountInformation").Result = getAccountNameForWord(9)

The vbCR is not being recognized nor is Chr(13).

Just as a test,

ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text2").result = "One" & vbCr & "Two"

run on exit from a formfield Text1, populated Text2 with:

One
Two

So, there must be something else wrong, not the vbCr.

No luck, plus the form field that I'm trying to set is the Address
Header for the invoice. The value that I'm puttin in there contains the
full address formated with all four or so lines. I may just go with 1
form field per line.
