Hi,

Some of my alert formulas are somewhat lengthy. I like to seperate the statements on separte lines.
It doesnt look like you can use the Enter key for a newline in the alert definition box.
So I use a regular text editor and then paste it in the alert box.

However that seems to mess up the alert functions.

Is there a way around this? Like shift enter or alt enter
Or do you need special encoding like DOS, UNIX etc)

In version 1188 coming out today or tomorrow, in the non-CLR version, you will be able to enter newlines in formulas and it will all be properly processed.
