You have to escape the data cell containing the linefeed with double quotes. The linefeed has to be encoded as a LF (0x0a) or as CRLF (0x0d 0x0a).
E.g. Data <tab> data <tab> data <crlf> data <tab> data <tab> "line1 <lf> line2"<crlf> data <tab> data <tab> data<crlf> This text file you can drag onto Excel to open it (Windows). Double click on Windows Explorer doesn't work since it is a .txt file. Better is to save it as a .csv file and use a semicolon ";" instead of a tab. So you can use double click to open it (again on Windows).
