Word files (2007) are zipped-up XML files. In XML, whitespace is 
ignored, so probably you need some special tag (like <br/> in XHTML) to 
insert the line break.

The easiest way to find this out - short of reading the specs - is to 
open the file in Word, add a line break, save it and then run a diff 
tool over the output and the original file.

If you want to go the specs route instead, you can start here:
