Hi Sabine,

Is this on a question slide or a regular content slide?

This support page may help to answer your question, but briefly, for these data entry questions, pressing enter is = pressing Submit answer

  • Graded: Fill in the Blank
  • Graded: Numeric
  • Survey: Short Answer
  • Survey: How Many
  • Freeform: Text Entry

If you use an Essay Question, Learers CAN use ENTER for a line break.

And if you're using just a data entry field on a content slide, making the text entry box taller should allow Learners to press ENTER for a line break.

Also, if your Learners are moving to the next slide automatically, check the slide properties. If the slide is advancing automatically, you can change it to By User.
