--- Comment #5 from Mark B <markbrd...@tiscali.co.uk> --- The \n sequence is an escape sequence that is interpreted to mean a new line when it - the escape sequence - a[pears in a Java string. The example in the Quick Guide uses Java to create the sheet/row/cell and populate it. I suspect this is not what you are doing, rather you are reading from an existing file and attempting to modify it. Am I correct in assuming that you have a test file that you have created using Excel? Further, that this file contains a cell into which you have written the string? If that is correct, then you never will see a new line. To create a new line in a cell using Excel itself then you need to press and hold down the Alt key and then press the enter key. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@poi.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@poi.apache.org
