Line termination in textboxes complared with Word Content Controls

I have a Word document with several content controls, some are "multi-line text fields".
When I read these and transfer them to a VB form textbox the text all goes onto one
line as the line termination appears to be different.<o:p></o:p>

Anyone know how to translate the soft carriage returns of the Word Content controls to the
hard returns of a textbox?<o:p></o:p>

Thanks
