Multiline text note?

Multiline text note?

Multiline text note?

(OP)
In V5 how do I go about getting a multiline text box on a drawing?  When I enter my note into the text box I hit enter thinking I'll go to the next line but V5 thinks I'm done creating the note.  I can make multiple lines but I have to type everything in one line and then drag the corner of the text box to change its size.  The text does not line up if I do this.  

I'm trying to enter a number of assembly notes it seems I'm forced to enter everything in one line or use multiple text boxes.

Any suggestions?  V5R18.

Thanks..

RE: Multiline text note?

Due to numerous complaints, the Text Editor was "fixed" in R18 so the Enter key did the same thing as the OK button - exit the Text Editor.

If you want to jump down to a new line, you have to use Ctrl&Enter now. Shift&Enter will also work.

Thanks, it works.  I tried searching on this issue but came up empty.
