Field? What kind of field?

Content Control? Use a Rich Text Content Control.

    For that, you need a Rich Text control.

    I guess you are referring to content controls? There are two types of text content controls: Rich Text and Plain Text. Both types seem to add a line break rather than a true paragraph when you press Enter (even after having enabled the option to allow for multiple paragraphs). That means all the content is in the same paragraph and only one bullet point will be created.

    I am not aware of a workaround.

    EDIT: Hm, looking at this again, it seems that applying a bullet style to the text paragraph before creating the Rich Text control will actually make it "behave."

    I was using a plain text content control. What I am trying to do is develop a fillable field that allows me to enter multiple sentences with a bullet point at the beginning of each sentence.
