Sure, you can switch to tagged markup input, but I'm not sure that's
going to solve the problem you stated as, "The text has punctuation,
returns etc… that must be retained in the record." If there's an
embedded newline in your tagged markup, FusionPro will just treat it
as whitespace. You could convert the newlines to <br> tags, but that
can be done in a tab-delimited file as well if you check the "Treat
field values as tagged text" box in the Data Source Wizard.
We should take a step back and figure out what exactly you're trying
to accomplish by embedding line breaks into the record data. Are you
trying to force the text to break at a particular point? Ideally, the
text content and its representation should be defined separately,
especially in a variable data job.
You can copy and paste text that has carriage returns into an Excell
spread
sheet but for this particular job it is all done in the background.
Our
programmer set this program up for us.
Ah, I see. You can also type ALT+ENTER on Windows to insert a line
break in a cell. But that kind of formatting really shouldn't be done
in Excel for a FusionPro job. And I don't see from the example you
posted where there's an embedded line break anyway:

Where is the line break?
