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());
    run.addBreak();
}
