I upload Outlook Calendar events via CSV files on a regular basis. I am familiar with that process, however, I have not been able to preserve line breaks in the description. Ideally, I would like to be able to use HTML code to write the event description with proper formatting.
I have tried using ALT-ENTER to create line breaks and they are preserved in the CSV file, however, in Outlook, the line breaks are remove. I assume this is because of the plain text setting.
I have searched Google and Microsoft for a way to change the default to HTML with no success. I did notice that when I manually create an event, the default format is HTML.
I attempted to use HTML code, and that was partially successful. The following text is what I typed into the CSV field:
<html>This is the first line of instruction. <br>
This is the second line of instruction. <br>
This is the final line of instruction. </html>
This did preserve the line breaks, but it also printed the tags. The resulting description in the Outlook event was exactly what I typed above. The result I would like to see in the Outlook event is below:
This is the first line of instruction.
This is the second line of instruction.
This is the final line of instruction.
