    Hi Tania,

    There is a new formula function called BR() in the Winter '07 release.  This will allow you to insert an HTML line break tag into text formula expressions.

    For example (using made-up field names) see the below code:

    Address1 & BR() & <br>Address2 & BR() & <br>City & ", " & State & " " & PostalCode & BR() & <br>Country

    BR() also works for PDF generation if you're using apex:outputText with escape=false in your PDF:

    <apex:outputText escape="false" value="{!yourfield}>

    Hope this helps.

    Please mark this as solved if it's resolved so that it gets removed from the unanswered queue which results in helping others who are encountering a similar issue.

    Thanks,

    Nagendra
