Carriage return within document field?

[Dylan]

How do I add a carriage return to my document field so that:

{IF {DOCVARIABLE OPT10a \* MERGEFORMAT}="Error! No document variable
supplied." "" {DOCVARIABLE OPT10a \* MERGEFORMAT}}

If the variable Opt10a doesn't equal "error!..." the value of Opt 10a is
displayed along with a carriage return. So that the next field Opt10b starts
on a new line?

I've tried the following in the field code and in the macro.
chr(13)
&vbCr
and I've tried these in the field code only
\r
\r\n

Kind Regards

In the field code, just press Enter at the appropriate location. (You may
want to show nonprinting marks in order to see more easily what you are
doing.)

It don't work; it adds a paragraph between the last two }} marks and moves
the last } onto the next line. However, when I update the field it remains
the same. When I view paragraph marks the fields are shaded in grey, but the
paragraph mark remains white between the last two }} marks.

Don't forget the quotation marks. Something like this:

{IF {DOCVARIABLE OPT10a \* MERGEFORMAT}="Error! No document variable
supplied." "" "{ ¶ <----- Press Enter here
DOCVARIABLE OPT10a \* MERGEFORMAT }" }

Or:

{IF {DOCVARIABLE OPT10a \* MERGEFORMAT}="Error! No document variable
supplied." "" "{ DOCVARIABLE OPT10a \* MERGEFORMAT }¶
" }

if you want the paragraph mark after the inserted DOCVARIABLE field.
