Simple line feed display question

[egor]

Does anybody know why line feed characters display in a text field as return characters when I use FMP 11 Advanced, but are not recognised when I use FMP 8.5 on another Mac to view the same data?

In the past I have had to fiddle about to change line feeds characters in imported text into carriage return characters. Seems I won't need to do this if I can just work out why FMP 11 is behaving so well and why FMP 8.5 is not.
