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.
