In Excel, some of the field entries need to be multiple lines, so the data
were entered using [Alt+Enter]. However, after a merge [Alt+Enter] converts
into Word as a paragraph marker -- not the equivalent of Word's
[Shift+Enter].

In the Word merge document, there are typed labels at the beginning of a
line, followed by a [Tab] and then the merged data from Excel. For those
fields with [Alt+Enter] in Excel, the multiple lines begin at 0" (left
margin) rather than at the tab. (The style is set to tab and hanging indent
at 2.5", so the real issue is that the codes are interpreted in Word as
paragraph markers.)

Is there a special code or other trick to preserve line breaks from Excel
into Word?
