Read Line Break from Insert File of type *.csv?

Post by Guest »

Is it possible to Insert a File into a document and have the file being inserted have a Line Break in it? The file being inserted is a tab separated text file of file type *.csv. This file is being generated from a MySQL database and has tabs and Carriage Return / Line Feed (s) inserted for formating purposes. I have seen that a Carriage Return alone or a Line Feed alone cause the preceeding text to be marked as a paragraph. I am trying to get the line of text to format as a paragraph across a couple of lines in the document where the text goes to a new line at a specific point as if it had a Line Break entered with Insert ... Special Symbol. Currently the file inserted takes up 77 pages of 8 point Verdana type on 8 1/2 x 11 paper and I don't want to manually insert Line Breaks each time I generate a new document.

If a plain text document contains characters with ASCII code 11, Atlantis replaces them with line breaks.

You could also use the "Find/Replace" feature to replace the desired paragraph end marks with line breaks.

You could also use the "Join Paragraphs" feature (Ctrl+Shift+U).

Thanks for your quick response. With three ways to fix the input I will be able to find one that works perfectly for me.
