We use Word 2000 and 2003 automation from C# (via interop). We create
tables dynamically. However, we now need to have embedded returns
within a cell.

For example:-

Row 1: Date     Text
Row 2: 1/1/2002 Help me
               please
Row 3: 1/1/2004 Help me

Sample code is as follows:-

object rows = 3;
object columns = 3;

string text = "Date\tText\t1/1/2002\tHelp me\nplease\t1/1/2004\tHelp
me";

Word.Range range = _wordApp.Selection.Range;
range.Text = tableValue.ToString();

Word.Table newTable = range.ConvertToTable(ref sep    // Separator
,ref numRows    // NumRows
,ref numColumns    // NumColumns
,ref oMissing    // InitialColumnWidth
,ref oMissing    // Format
,ref oMissing    // ApplyBorders
,ref oMissing    // ApplyShading
,ref oMissing    // ApplyFont
,ref oMissing    // ApplyColor
,ref oMissing    // ApplyHeadingRows
,ref oMissing    // ApplyLastRow
,ref oMissing    // ApplyFirstColumn
,ref oMissing    // ApplyLastColumn
,ref oMissing    // AutoFit
,ref oMissing    // AutoFitBehaviour
,ref oMissing    // DefaultTableBehaviour
);

However, what this does is create a new row when it encounters the \n.
I have tried using different column separators and a few other
possibilities but to no avail.
