Hi
as of now, June 24, 2020, is it still not possible to insert a line break in the target segment in MemoQ?
Other CAT tools have this feature.
And I need it badly.
Working on lots of PPTX files.
I did a search on Proz but only found out that the request for such a feature goes back to 2012...

I'm afraid it's still not possible, sorry. Hopefully someone will prove me wrong :)

Here you can find a macro to find a unique character (e.g. a paragraph flag) and replace it with PP’s representation of a new line (^l ??):

Thanks, Hans. In the meantime I switched to Cafetran for this particular project, but will look into this for future use.
