    I'm trying to break a line of text into 2 eg.

    "Department Of SuperDuper
    Web Dev Support"

    But it comes out as

    "Department Of Super Duper Web Dev Support"

    all on 1 line not 2 and it will not respond to the enter command to break it.

    This is with text placed onto a circle for a round logo.

    Something like this?

    This is an awkward solution. I combined three concentric arcs into a single path. Text flows from upper paths to lower so the stacking order of the arcs is important. I added spaces until the flow across subpaths looked like manual line breaks. Manual kerning will improve the text positioning.

    I ended up creating another layer to text to path to :)

    If this is your goal it kinda works with single elements: looks ok in Inkscape but not in browser

    ​​​​Text is Flowed Text and center aligned, circle is cut into 2 segments with a rectangle and Path->Difference. Arrangement needs spaces to get the symmetrical alignment. Much easier with 2 separate Text objects and 2 arcs.
