    Default Keynote File Formatting: Add line Break Between Items in a Single Keynote

    Hello,
    Is there a way to format a line break within a single keynote value. Typing enter does not work, is there any expression or code that i can input to replicate this keystroke? I'd like my keynote to read like this:


    DIV 06 00 00 WOOD, PLASTICS, & COMPOSITES (line break)

    06.01 SAW CUT & DEMOLISH PRTIONS OF (E) WALL AS REQUIRED TO INSTALL (N) WORK PER PLANS. (line break)
    1ST FLOOR: FULL STRUCT. BAY: 16'-0" W X 12'-0" H HALF STRUCT. BAY: 8'-0" W X 12'-0"H. (line break)
    2ND FLOOR: FULL STRUCT. BAY: 16'K-0" W X 10'-0"H HALF STRUCT. BAY: 8'-0" W X 10'-0" H. (line break)
    06.02 EXTERIOR DECK W/ TREX FINISH.

    Hi Limbatus,
    I do it using Excel:

    Assuming th column A is used for your key numberstype your lines in different cells in column B (B1, B2...).
    Type a formula like this one in an empty cell (like B4) to merge content:
    =B1 & CAR(10) & B2 & CAR(10) & B3
    Then copy paste that cell to your keynote text file.

    Another way of doing it in Excel, which maybe more convenient:
    You can use Alt + Enter at the end of each line when typing in a cell, and it will make a line break inside that cell, you can have many line break in the same cell. Then pasting to text file will work as well.

    Note: in Notepad you cannot see the line break but it will be there (as a hidden character) so in Revit it will show properly as soon you insert your schedule onto a sheet.
