copied!<p>I've been playing around with ID CS6 (OS X) for a while and I can't for the life of me get it to recognize a pasted LF as a forced line break. LF and CR and CRLF all go to paragraph breaks. U+2028 and U+2029 are display as empty glyphs, not breaks.</p> <p>I'm a little wary of posting this as an answer, but I'll give it a go:</p> <p>You might consider providing the text as a downloaded .txt file. CS5 introduced "Tagged Text" (a sort of XML-ish text document with <em>full</em> support for InDesign characters, attributes, etc.,) so this means your designers will be able to place the text file and InDesign will treat everything as intended.</p> <p>To turn your existing text into CS5+'s Tagged Text (see the reference <a href="http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/taggedtext/indesign_cs5_taggedtext.pdf" rel="nofollow">here</a>), plop a <code><ASCII-MAC></code> or <code><ASCII-WIN></code> (as appropriate) as the first line and escape any '<' or '>'s with a backslash, then you're free to use <code><0x000A></code> as a forced line break. (literally those 8 characters)</p> <p>That's probably mega-overkill, but it's certainly the most <em>stupidly reliable</em> way I can think of. I'll edit if I get anything else working.</p> <p>NB. "forced line break" is the term InDesign itself uses for the character produced by Shift+Enter, your "soft line break;" contrast with "paragraph break" for a standard carriage return. InDesign <a href="http://indiscripts.com/blog/public/data/idcs4-special-characters/en_InDesignCS4SpecialChars.pdf" rel="nofollow">apparently</a> represents forced breaks with LF (U+000A) and paragraph breaks with CR (U+000D).</p>
