How do you add a line break when editing a field in a database using SQL Server Management Studio
=========
ANSWER

We have not found a simple way to do this using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) alone.
Instead, you can use the free Notepad++ text editor and add your text in there, and then paste it back into the field in SSMS.
Download Notepad++ from
http://notepad-plus-plus.org
Go to Settings, Preferences, and select the New Document/Default Directory tab.
Set the Format option to Unix, and click Close
Close Notepad++ and open it again.
Type the text you need and then copy and paste it into the field in SSMS.
Line breaks will be maintained.
