In Visio 2016 I can't figure out how to paste text into a shape and retain line breaks.

To reproduce:

  • Create a shape or text box in Visio.
  • Copy some multi-line text from Excel or a text file.
  • Paste it into the Visio shape.

All the line breaks are lost (although text will wrap).

Does anyone have a fix? I couldn't find one on an extensive search.)

I found a workaround:

  • Paste the text into Notepad (or Notepad++).
  • Select all and copy.
  • Paste into the Visio text box.

I'm not sure why I was having trouble with the text file mentioned in the question.
