I need to type text into a large merged cell. To make the text look nice I
want to be able to have a space between paragraphs. In Microsoft word I
would just hit return or the enter key twice but in Excel doing that will
just bounce you out of the cell.


Is there a way to separate paragraphs in excel? I do not want to create
separate cells to divide the paragraph. It must be divided within one
cell
or one merged cell.

Thanks,

Quin
