Alt+Ctrl+Enter Dec 10, 2010

Hello,
to accept the translation and go to the next line you need to hit Alt+Ctrl+Enter.

I would open the mail anyway, add the punctuation needed and open the fixed one in across to make sure that the segments saved in the crossTank make sense.

If I've got the problem correct, you need to apply some kind of carriage return?
You can use shift+enter, or you can copy carriage return symbol from the source text using ctrl+C/ctrl+V.
