I'm out of any real ideas.

Any chance you have a funny programmable keyboard and some of the keys have been
remapped?

No, unfortunately it doesn't.

If you select an empty cell, then type an "a", then alt-enter, does it work ok?

I was guessing that you weren't actually editing the cell yet--you had just
selected it.

Yes, it doesn't work whetehr the cursor is highlighted in the formula bar or
within the cell. Other commands such as Alt+T work bringing me to the
appropriate menu item. Its very puzzling as I have found the Alt+Enter to be
very handy.

I too am having this problem with Excel 2003 ie alt+enter no longer inserts a
line break within a cell. I have tried the MS method of turning off the
computer, but to no avail. It was coincident with importing a numbered list
from the notes page of a powerpoint presntation, but that may be irrelevant.

I am having the same problem as Nyla, alt+enter does not insert a line break
as it should, but it does not fix itself -- it seems to be consistently
missing across all spreadsheets, and has been that way for days. Is there a
way of re-setting the alt+enter command to function as it should?

What can cause the ALT+ENTER to NOT insert a line break? This usually always
works, but when I tried it at one point today it didn't work. I went to a
different cell and it worked, but the one certain cell would not accept the
ALT+ENTER to insert a line break? Is there a format or something that might
cause this?
