Hi

 

I would like to use a new line as a separator in the list concatenator but I do not know what I need to actually type into the separator box. The help suggests a sequence of Ctrl+Shift+j (^J) but if I CTrl+Shift+j, nothing happens. I have no idea about the ^J. I have tried pasting this in as text too but no combination works. Please could someone explain what the help file is suggesting I do?

 

Thanks

Hi @markcoopersdc​,

Please click the triangle button beside the Separator Character box and choose Text Editor. In the dialog that comes up, open the Special Characters in the pane on the left, then choose your desired new line character from the list by double-clicking.
