Hello,
I searched the forum but I only found something similar about Textboxes:
if I define a new property for a component it will always become a single line.
I tried to use Return, ALT_Return, CTRL_Return but it does nothing.
Is it possible to create multi line properties ? 
I think Properties are always single line, you have to use a free text item to have multiline. Is that an insurmountable restriction for you? Can you give an example where you would need it?
Oh, its nothing restricted. I can use a text item. I just wanted to have a connection between the Text and the component.
A trick I sometimes use is to write a few lines of text in a text editor, then copy it and paste it into the entry box of some other program.
This trick does not work if you edit a value field in the Symbol Properties window, ( When pasting a carriage return, it goes to the next field), but it does appear to work if you edit a single field directly on the schematic.
Note that this is is quite unusual to do and bugs may be lurking about. I have no idea what happens if you for example try to add this information to the BOM.
nice trick, I will consider this.
