Text Line Breaks in Table Interaction

Hello all:

I have a simple table I need to add to a Captivate screen. I know that the current widget doesn't support things like cell merging, etc., but I'd like to put a line break into a cell that contains address/contact information.  I've tried all the usual key commands, but they still just take me to the next cell in the column.

Is this possible in the table widget?

    That interaction is indeed very limited, I never use it for that reason. Is it a very big table? I create them using rectangular shapes, snapping to a grid setup with Guides. Each shape can be a text container and you don't have those limitations of the Table interaction.

    Are you in Captivate Classic or in version 12? Both have Table widgets.

    Sorry. Captivate Classic is what I'm working in at the moment.
