I'm trying to insert a line break into a table cell. So far I've been trying to manipulate the range of the cell, but am either getting errors or causing my text to go into subsequent rows or outside of the table.

How would I insert a line break into a table cell?

(Using macros, there is apparently a way to do it with Selection, but I'd rather avoid that if possible)

(Things I have that don't work: range.InsertParagrah, range.InsertParagraphAfter, range.Text = "\r\n", range.InsertBreak(wdLineBreak))

Try shift + enter - I think that does the trick.
