Description Steven Lai 2008-04-30 09:31:49 UTC 
Please describe the problem:

Users would be happy if they can choose to persist line break as "\n", "\r\n", "\r" in preference, and default to "\r\n" on Windows.


Steps to reproduce:
1. In A1, type "This is line 1", alt enter, "This is line 2"
2. File > Save, File type: MS Excel


Actual results:
When opened on Excel, the input should be displayed on one single line

This is line 1This is line 2


Expected results:
When opened on Excel, the input should be displayed on two lines

This is line 1
This is line 2

Does this happen every time?
yes
