Default Insert CR into AutoTextList balloon

Good afternoon folks

I've found this thanks to Google to display explanations when a form field is hovered over:
AutoTextList "formatted_words_seen" \s NoStyle \t "baloon_words"



But I can't insert a carriage return in the "balloon_words". If it can be done please tell me how.

With thanks in advance

Greg

Thanks folks - since nobody has replied I'll assume that the text in the tooltip cannot be formatted.

I couldn't find a quick way to do it. But then again, I would be recommending you to use a Content Control instead of the seriously out of date legacy fields. A content control will accept formatting in the Placeholder text. Line breaks in the placeholder text are also possible depending on the type of CC.

If the CC already contains content, the user won't see the CC's placeholder text so it isn't a perfect solution unless you are happy for them to clear the content which allows the placeholder text to reappear.
