Posted on by FelipePanza 84

Hi, is there a way to keep the line break from Sharepoint list when convert to a Word file?

 

I have managed to make a Word table from Sharepoint with repeting table.

    Hello, @FelipePanza!

     

    Yes, there are some workaround to get this done. However, the action "Populate a Microsoft Word Template" doesn't do that on its own. I did however found a similar post that might help you with this: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Using-Flows/SharePoint-Multiple-lines-of-text-column-and-Send-an-email-Issue/td-p/725964

     

    Let me know if it helped you keep the break lines in your cell! 

     

    Cheers,

    Rodrigo

    Where in my flow should I do this?

     

    Compose the multiple lines to URI encoding, a then replace the line break %0A with the desired formatting, such as </br>.

    I found a solution.

    When you are creating a template with content control make sure you edit the properties to:

    select Allow carriage returns (multiple paragraphs).

     

    This allowed me to keep the line break from sharepoint list with plain text.
