Table Text Formatting

[sturner333]

I have inserted tables into a Word document that get its data inserted from
an Access program. The only problem I have is when data from Access that was
on multiple lines is put into a cell on the document, those square carriage
return symbols show up and characters(words) are lines up one after another
with these squares separating them:

Per Nilssonâ–¡â–¡bob smith
rather than
Per Nillson
bob smith

How do I get rid of those?
Thanks

Copy one of them and paste it into Find and Replace.

I don't want the end user to have to do this. Is there any way to avoid in
the first place?
Thanks

Don't put them in that way into the data base.

I don't. In the database they are not present. Only when they are sent to the
Word document.

In the data base it is one long line? Sounds like you have "Alt-Enter"
inserted by the description.

It is just normally entered text in a textbox. Nothing Fancy.

The text box? I suspect that when the text box "word wraps" it is
inserting them for you. You might try find and replace in the database.
