Revit Schedules - start a new line of text in same cell?

See attached picture.  I have a sink family in my schedule and I'd like 'Left bowl', 'Right Bowl', and 'Bowl Depth' to be on separate lines in my schedule (not separate rows necessarily but if that's possible it could work as well).  In excel you can press alt > enter to start a  new line of text in the same cell. Is there any way to do this in the Revit Schedules? If not, is there a way to add a blank line below?  I tried a few things...including nesting the bowl dimensions into the sink family so they show up in a separate line below the main sink family in my schedule but that didn't work because it counted it in my quantities.

I figured it out.  I just put additional spaces between the text in the family type properties . I had tried this before but I think I didn't press apply.  Also, if you put spaces between the text in the revit schedule itself it won't change it.

CTRL + Enter will allow you to go to the next line and a better option than putting in spaces. An additional option and one that I prefer to use is to, use a multi-line text parameter type vs a text parameter. This gives you the three dots at the end and allows you to easily type in text with as many lines as you need.
