    Address Concatenate and Line Breaks Failing in Word

    Hello -
    I'm using the concatenate function in Excel to create an address that I'm then using in Word as a mailing. I have to put a line break in the concatenate function using the char(10) function, and in Excel everything looks great. But the problem is when I use this in the mailings in Word the char(10) shows up as a box and there are no line breaks. I cannot figure it out!!

    Any guidance?

    Paul

    Try carriage return

    CHAR(13)

    or carriage return and line feed

    CHAR(13)&CHAR(10)

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    So you are a genius, and saved me a massive headache!!

    So what's the theory on the char functions? What action do they perform?
