    If the text was entered into a storage (database?) using a text field, then you will have a carraige return and a line break to deal with. When displaying this same information back to a text field it should display correctly. However if you are displaying it to be HTML text, the browser will not detect the CR and the LB and the text will just 'runon' without line breaks.

    A solution is:
    #replace(replace(databasefield, chr(10), "<BR>"."all"), chr(13), "<BR>"."all")#

    hope this helps

    Do you mean that proj desc is a stored in a database or is a CF variable ?

    How does the user enter line breakes? In the proj desc displayed in some editable text box?

    you could store <br> tags in with the proj desc text...
