Edit Report – Paragraph Breaks in Description

[John McPherson]

I’m using “Edit Report” (right-click on report/ select “Show Profile”) to modify the properties of a report. I wrote something in the description, including paragraph breaks. The description renders nicely, with the exception that the paragraph breaks do not appear e.g.

Edit Report/Description:
“This is the first paragraph of my description.

And this is the second paragraph.”

reports as…

“This is the first paragraph of my description. And this is the second paragraph.”

I have tried using: Tools/Options and Settings/Compact Document to resolve this, with no success. (I tried both True and False settings). I am using Word 2007 (12.0.6683.5002) SP3 MSO (12.0.6683.5000).

Is there anything else I can try?

You’re quite right!
…so we’ve fixed it in the December maintenance release (3.3.15.3) now available on the website.
Well spotted!

Thanks
I gave this a try and the paragraph breaks now appear. I have some new problems that are related.
1) The second and subsequent paragraphs are in a different format from the first
2) The first paragraph is in “Normal” format. I had expected all paragraphs to be in my own format, as specified in: Tools/Options and Settings/Inline text settings/Normal inline text style
See attached files for demo.

Zip file now attached!

P.S. Not desperate for a fix/answer as I have a good workaround for my project
