Carriage return in a WD table cell

[phildeane]

Hi,

I have data in a table cell which I would like to present better by adding a carriage returns so that it appears on more than one line for example as bullet points.

I can format it using HTML but can’t seem to be able to find out how to set encode to true for that cell.

Has anyone come across this problem before, or even have a simpler solution.

Cheers

Phil

Hi Phil,

Check this . On what SP level are you?

Best regards, Maksim Rashchynski.

Thanks Gareth, have persuaded the user to accept the data as one long string.

Made much easier in the knowledge that the problem can be solved once they have upgraded to SP16.

Cheers

Phil

Cheers, sounds closer to the answer, I'll ask Armin if there has been any definate progress as I'm currently on SP14.

I'm not sure about the exact SP, but I know that "\n" works since some SP (15?). (In older SP's, you had to put "\r\n" into the text).

Simply try to set the text of a TextView to "line1\nline2" or "line1\r\nline2" and see if it works.

Just for info, I've just tried in SP16 and it works ok with \r\n.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, word wrapping isn't what I need though.

I need to force a couple of new lines in the same cell.

Hi Phil,

Change the tablecelleditor element property <b>wrapping to TRUE</b> and also set the width to some pixels according to ur need.

Hope it helps,
