Hard Returns do not work any longer

[KashMarsh]

Help! I'm editing a report in Access. There's a Text Field in there that just has text in it. It has hard returns in it due to needing to have one Text Box holding 4 lines of information (each line of info on it's own line, thus hard returns). It used to print just fine but now Access totally ignores the hard returns and replaces it with a little square. The hard returns seem to look fine when I view it in design view in the larger view (click on the 3 dots) but print preview and actually printing it does not.

Was there an update to Access that wiped out the hard return translation? If so, how do I get it back?? thanks in advance.

I never had complaints with that in Access 2003 through SP3... Is that your version? I'm not sure if there have been patches since. You could uninstall them to test. Or better still try a different machine if it is an option.

On the flip side if it is not both a carriage retrun and line feed in the data for the hard return you will get the square box. Shift+Enter should be the way to go... Or you could copy and pase and type it in word.
