Prevent 'Hard Return' in Notes

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Frank_Heslin 895

Does anyone know of a way to prevent users from using the <ENTER> key when they are entering text in the Notes windows?

We have several SmartLists that include the Notes field, and it gets messy when exported to Excel due to use of the <ENTER> key.

Thanks in advance.

    What would you suggest?  <Backspace> & <Space>???

    Can you replace one with two?  If not I guess just <Space>
