Java Apache POI newline characters are ignored when writing to XWPFTable cell
Hoping someone might have some experience with this. I'm using Apache POI 3.8b4 to output a table in Word 2007 format. When I do something similar to the following: XWPFTableRow row = table.getRow(0); String text = "A\nB\nC\nD"; row.getCell(i).setText(text); all of my line breaks are ignored in the output in the table cell looks like A B C D Does anyone have any idea how to get it to properly display as A B C D Edit: The solution was the following: XWPFParagraph para = row.getCell(i).getParagraphs().get(0); for(String text : myStrings){ XWPFRun run = para.createRun(); run.setText(text.trim());
