I work in Word 2000 and would like to insert a second line in a data form
field, rather than exiting and inserting it manually in the data form table.
I've tried ALT + ENTER and it doesn't work. Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks

To create a new line, you use Shift+Enter.

This works in the word table created by the Data Form input dialogue box. I
would like to be able to do this directly in the Data Form input dialogue box
without creating a new field (e.g., 2 fields to show a government department
and section; or 2 fields for a 2-line civic address such as street and PO
Box).

Can this be done directly in the Data Form input dialogue box???

Thanks

I don't know what you mean by the "Data Form input dialogue box", or what
the particular advantage would be of doing it that way over having separate
fields for each line of data.
