      NOTE: This bug report is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.

      Excel macro is not respecting additional lines of text from within a cell. For example, if you have a list of things in 1 cell with each list item starting on a new line, but within the same cell, confluence is rendering the cell without respecting that new line. I have tested this locally on 4.2.8 with 2.0.14 office connector plugin. Tested against .xls/.xslx. A simple file with 4 cells did display correctly, however, a more complex document shows the text in the cell as described.

      Support case reference for sample files which you can use to observe both behaviors.

            [CONFSERVER-39101] Excel macro does not display cells with multiple lines of text correctly

            I've seen many teams use excel spreadsheets to track all sorts of information.

            Using excel macro in confluence is a great way to share the content except for this bug. The visual distortion of the text within a cell makes this macro borderline not useful.

            It'd be great if you guys could provide a fix for the new line display within a cell.

             

            Thanks,

            -Eva
