New Line in Merge Data Field

[Tom Bean]

I'm using .txt files to do mail merge and would like to put an multi-line
address in one of the fields but can't find any information about whether or
not this is possible. I can't put the control characters in the address
because they will break the data into multiple records, all of which are
invalid.

Is there any character sequence I can put in the address to break it into
multiple lines?

Thanks,
Tom

You cannot do that with a .txt file data source. It can be done however if
the data is in the form of a Word table.

Alternatively, in the mail merge main document, just arrange the individual
fields that make up the address in the configuration that you want them
