How to create a new line(not row) in a table

hi,

 

Is there a way to create new line or equivalent of doing a "ENTER" in a cell in a basic table? I do not want a new ROW created. Just a new line.

 

Before -

CityTeam
Toronto; New YorkRaptors; Knicks

 

After - 

 

CityTeam

Toronto;

New York

Raptors;

Knicks

 

 

thanks.

In a Formula or Multi-Field Tool. You could use the expression,

replace([_CurrentField_], '; ', ';
')

You can use the following formula.

 

 

Replace([City], '; ', '; '+ CharFromInt(10))
Replace([Team], '; ', '; '+ CharFromInt(10))

For the Table Layout tool take a look at this thread.

The other solutions will work if you export to Excel.
