Hi, 

 

I am trying to get

- The possible deliveries of battle tanks by Washington to Ukraine will be a “another blatant provocation” against Russia, Anatoly Antonov, Russia’s ambassador to the US, said on Wednesday.

- Peskov also called absurd the view in the west that peace and security on the continent would be obtained by arming Ukraine. Tass quotes him saying:

- He said there was no prospect of any detente, based on “the line that was chosen by Nato under US leadership”.

- The Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov expressed alarm this morning that the Doomsday Clock had edged closer to midnight than ever, even though the scientists who moved the symbolic dial cited Moscow’s own “thinly veiled threats” to use nuclear weapons.

 

Attached is the workflow. Unfourtanely, I am losing the first bullet and ideally I would like to have this in one line as opposed to my current solution which is creating new rows. I have tried \n but that doesn't work when I use the render tool and output in Word.  Can someone pls help? 

 

Many thanks, 

Sylvia

Try using this formula:

trim(Replace([Test],"%%","
- "))

Note the new line in the replacement text.

 

I've then run it through a Report Text and Render tool to get this:

Many thanks Christina. Unfortunately, when I run your workflow I get this word output, i.e. no new lines...would you know why?

That's very strange, when I update it to output to Word instead of PDF I still get the new lines:
