Is it possible to control the location of a line break when establishing the limits for text or labels? I understand how to force a specific size and get text to wrap. I want to break the line in a specific place. For example:

This Is My Very Long
Firm Name, Inc.
This Is a Short Address
This Is a Longer City, State and Zip

I want a manual line break between Long and Firm. As a new user, I assumed this was a standard question. I have not found any information in the Help menu and despite reading a number of posts on this topic, I have been unable to find a definitive and unequivocal answer. In Excel, it is ALT+Enter. In Word, it is ^p or ^l. What is the equivalent in Revit?

Thank you.

Within a Label? See the attached PDF with comment. If you do not have a reader that enables the notes, all I was hoping to do is for a break between Manager and Test instead of Test and Project. I am aware this is picky, picky, picky. Just anticipating user questions during our Revit pilot - we currently use ADT 2005 and I can wrap in schedules or MTEXT (though I doubt many ADT users have found the manual line break for automated schedules). Just assumed that Revit must have a secret method somewhere that I have not found. Short of more parameters.

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Thank you. I was able to find this after checking through multiple links from the thread you included. The AUGI site is significantly more well-organized than the AutoDesk site, but I am having some difficulty entering the "perfect" syntax to get to the actual answer I wanted.

I appreciate your patience and CTRL+Enter is exactly what I wanted.
