Memo Field in Form

[BBAL20]

I created a notes section in a form I built. The notes section is connected
to a memo field in the table itself because I need the ability to type
several thousand records in that field. The memo field doesn't allow me to
seperate my notes into paragraphs by pressing the enter button. I need to
format its contents and seperate each section/paragraph by a space.
Currently, Access only allows me to type one continuous string of text. Is
this possible?

I'm not on a computer with Access at the moment, but isn't there a property
for the memo field on your form that is called something like "Enter Key
Beehaviour"? This property has two choices - Default and New Line. Setting
thr option to New Line should allow you to press the enter key and insert
blank lines in the memo field.
