This process works in Google Docs Template, but I cannot use it as i only have a gmail account and the Google Drive module doesn’t work with just a gmail account. I am using the MS Word Template module and for the most part, it is doing what I want it to, with the exception of a carriage return (new line/line feed) issue I just cannot seem to get past.
I have a .docx file that is a #10 envelope. I am trying to put Address1, Address2 (if it exists), city, state and zip into a field.
In airtable I can put the “/n” when I combine them together into a string and that works in Google Docs template. MS Word Template it doesn’t using the same template.
I have a long string field in airtable that is 3 lines and my FillOut.com form takes care of the new lines when it puts into the Airtable field. This also works fine in Google Docs Template.
My MS Word file is simple and looks like this.
{{Renter_Name}}
{{Def1_Combined_Address}}
I have selected value for the MS Word Template for both fields.
Things I have tried. Everything I have tried results in the same thing. All values are on the same line as the output example below.
- I tried sending the whole string with carriage returns.
- I tried taking the individual fields and using [Address1][newline][city]
- I tried [Address1][carriagereturn][city]
- Probably a few other things.
Output example:
Bob Barker
123 Price is Right Blvd Charlotte NC
I have spent a ton of time trying to hack this and internet searches are less than helpful. Any ideas? I would presume that this should be pretty simple to do, but I am incorrect so far.
Here is the input JSON
