Unable to Import Excel with cells that have line breaks in the text e.g. Comments

Excel

I have to import a large number of items from a legacy system into Gemini. Problem is with large text fields that are attempted to be imported into Rich Text textbox fields. Import keeps thinking that the line break is a new row to import and then rejects it. It is critical I can import the line breaks otherwise these text boxes become unreadable blob of text.

Can Line Breaks be replaced with some special character that will not be recognized by the imported as a new row but will be recognized as a line break in the Rich Text Box fields?

Currently on Gemini 5.1.5

Also reive the below error

Import Wizard

There seems to be a problem accessing the 'app_data/imports' folder. Please ensure you have given 'everyone' modify access to this folder.

Please see email just sent to support with Subject "URGENT: Gemini 5.1.5 : Cnnot import into Rich Text box fields with line breaks?"

Actualy it does not work for Excel nor CVS. The email shows a clear example of how a CVS file is not loading and where. Basically breaks down on the first new line CHAR(10) i.e. Excel Alt+Enter in a TextField.

Can you send the XLS file itself? It seems to me like it is a CSV format not XLS!
