You just need to format the text using html. You should only use table (div's), tr's and so so, not body and head sections. If you use quotes, it can confuse the code. There is an optionin the file as to handle those.

I don't know if you ever figured this out, but it occurred to me that you could do it like this:

 

1) Download a full Easy Populate file from your site

2) Use the Find command in Excel to Search and Replace certain formatting "characters" with HTML code. For example, search for the Tab characters, and replace them with "<br><br>" to add two carriage returns.

3) reupload the modified file via EP.

 

Note that if you take your tab-delimited text file (EP download) into a program like BBedit, you can do really sophisticated "Grep" find and replace searches (for more on this, see http://www.anybrowser.org/bbedit/grep.shtml). Depending upon what you wanted to do, your 4000 products could be modified in one click of the button.
