I would like to insert manual line breaks into long text strings in cells. I
know how to use Alt-enter to make the line breaks and it works great when
viewing in Excel. However, I want to then cut and paste those cells into a
text editor (like notepad or Word). When I do that, my nice formatting goes
away and the cell contents is just one long string again.

Is there any way to maintain my line breaks when I cut and paste OUT of Excel?
