Hi rdowney,

Your document uses Text Content Controls for data entry, plus one dropdown Content Control. There are two types of Text Content Control:
• Plain Text; and
• Rich Text.
Only with Plain Text Content Controls do you get the option to allow (or disallow) carriage returns.

Your Content Controls on rows 3, 4, 5 & 8 are all Rich Text Content Controls.

It would appear that you 'meeting date' Content Control should be a Date Picker Content Control, and a number of other Content Controls that are currently Plain Text should be Rich Text (or formatted to disallow carriage returns).
