I have a memo field and it is one run on statement.
I want to be able to hit the enter key after a sentence and seperate the statments, Is this functional? here is an example:

hey Jimmy Page is still a well respected guitarist. This is true in light of the many years that have past. I hope to see more information on the artist in the future.

I want it to do this (Below)

hey Jimmy Page is still a well respected guitarist. This is true in light of the many years that have past.

<enter> created this space

I hope to see more information on the artist in the future.


can it be done? thanks steve

Do you mean by hitting the enter key to go to a new line ?

If so there is a field in the field properties called 'enter key behavior'.
Default takes you to the next field, New line in field should do what your after.

The option to set the enter key behaviour is on the property sheet for the control
