I've tried shift+enter, ctrl+enter, rich text or plain text content control. None of them works.

    Insert a Tab Stop at the location where you want the address to be aligned and then after pressing SHIFT+ENTER to start a new line, press CTRL+TAB to insert a tab space.

    To insert a tab space inside a Content Control, you must use CTRL+TAB rather than just TAB

    In a Rich Text Content Control, pressing Shift + Enter will start a new line in that control. Pressing Enter will start a new paragraph in that control. Press CTRL+Enter will insert a Page Break in the control

    Hi,

    Thank you for the reply.

    I have tried the methods. Enter and ctrl+enter do not work.

    shift+enter partially does, but it wasn't what I am expecting. Is there any way to fix it?

    Thank you.
