Thanks Max,

Funnily enough I've just plugged in another keyboard to my laptop and it
seems to be working so obviously problem lies there. Good to know at last
what the problem is!

Thanks to both you and Biff for your help.

.. have a LOT of text to enter
.. how to get the alt+enter working

There are 2 Alt keys on the keyboard
Try keying Alt + Enter with both, see what happens
Or try borrow another keyboard and test it out
(Could be just a worn-out keyboard crying out
to be retired from service <g)
