Arranging text in a memo field

I use a form that accepts text in a memo field. The data in the field is
ultimately displayed in a text box on a report. What I would like to be able
to do is size the two, the memo field and the text box, so they are the same
size, so I can enter the data into the memo field and have it displayed in
the subsequent report exactly the same as entered in the memo field. In
order to do so efficiently, I need to be able to skip from anywhere in line
one to line two, and from anywhere in line two to line three in the memo
field rather than hitting the space bar and waiting until the text 'wraps' to
the next line. Is there a key stroke that would allow me to 'jump' to the
next line when I want to?

Ctrl-Enter; or set the "Enter Key Behavior" property of the textbox to "New
line in text" to just press Enter to go to the next line.
 
You need to be aware that moving down from line one to line two will not
always place you in the same position (number of characters from left) due to
variable pitch fonts unless you use one like Courier New that has all
characters the same size horizontally.
