How do I include line breaks without extra space using report generation toolbox?

Hello!

I am trying to place a footer into a word document with four lines that do not have extra space between lines. I have tracked the problem down to the "after" field in the paragraph settings in word. So far I have tried : [1]to put each line into a text object, add each object into a paragraph and append that to the document. This gets four lines with a large space between lines related to the number in 'above' in the word paragraph menu. [2] use 'sprintf('%s\n','line of text') as the input into the text object, (textObj = Text();). same result as [1] [3] WhiteSpace(1) into the 'Style' of the text object and/or the paragraph object. No effect if in the text object or paragraph. In the paragraph, the output is one continuous line and the line break does not get registered. [4] add the text as one text object with sprintf with three line breaks. same as [3]

Thanks!

When trying to include line breaks without extra space in a word document, you can use the option: Style > Retain spaces and carriage returns.
