I want 'Enter' to be a line break in a text-box
 

I want to be able to type text into a multi-line text-box on a form,
and when I hit the Enter key, I want it to insert a line-break (hard
or soft) or paragraph break so that I can then type on the next line.

At the moment, when I press Enter, it moves to the next control on the
form.

(When I'm not in the text-box,I'm happy for Enter to just do what it
normally does.)

Is this possible?

Set the MultiLine property to True and set the EnterKeyBehavior
property to True. You can do this manually in the designer's
Properties window or with code when the form loads:

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
With Me.TextBox1
.MultiLine = True
.EnterKeyBehavior = True
End With
End Sub
