The documentation states that a Text element contains literal text. The SDK will not make assumptions about new line characters in a string that you write to a Text element. How would it know if you wanted a break or if you wanted a paragraph?

If you are building the document from literal strings you will have some work to do:

using DocumentFormat.OpenXml;
using DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Packaging;
using DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing;

namespace OXmlTest
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (var wordDocument = WordprocessingDocument
                .Create("c:\\deleteme\\testdoc.docx", WordprocessingDocumentType.Document))
            {
                MainDocumentPart mainPart = wordDocument.AddMainDocumentPart();

                mainPart.Document = new Document();
                Body body = mainPart.Document.AppendChild(new Body());
                Paragraph p = body.AppendChild(new Paragraph());                
                Run r = p.AppendChild(new Run());

                string theString = "This is an example project for testing purposes. \rThis is all sample data, none of this is real information. \r\rThis field allows for the entry of more information, a larger text field for example purposes";

                foreach (string s in theString.Split(new char[] { '\r' }))
                {
                    r.AppendChild(new Text(s));
                    r.AppendChild(new Break());
                }

                wordDocument.Save();
            }
        }
    }
}
