Mike-- 

InDesign has break characters and/or paragraph break settings, but they're not going to produce what you're looking for. What you're trying to do is set paragraphs in a "side by side" arrangement (as in Word) in a single column; the break characters won't work, as they force text to the next column or the next page. 

You could mess with baseline shift, inline text frames, leading, etc., but it's way too much trouble. Instead, work with InDesign tables to accomplish the layout you want. Let me know which platform you're using, and I'll post an example script. 

Thanks, 

Ole
