Try formatting the cell: Format | Cells -Alignment and check the "Wrap
Text" box
I assume the "/t" is correctly inserting a CHAR(10)

Hello,

When putting a string into a clipboard (which can be later pasted into
Excel), what do I need to use to represent the horizontal tab? I
thought "\t" is the answer, but it doesn't work. It shows as a square
box instead of splitting data into multiple columns. Thank you!
