How to Preserve Line Breaks in Table Cells when Importing from Excel

We have tables drafted in Excel 2016 that have line breaks within cells. When we paste these tables into Arbortext Editor (v8.1.1) the breaks are not retained. Is it possible to preserve line breaks when pasting a table from Excel? Thanks in advance.

Now I see what you mean. When we started with editor we were warned that the table functionality was limited. I expect the only options are that you need to wrap them in elements in order to get the required output. The problem column has a new line processing instruction that looks like it is not being obeyed and the trouble shooting column has the text wrapped in two separate p elements.

This is what you are expecting it to look like in editor?
