Entering multiple lines of text in a cell
 
I am creating a spreadsheet and would like to enter multiple lines of text in
a given cell as shown he
1 = Money
2 = Show
3 = Ready
4 = Go

I can't figure out how to enter the text in a cell so it lines up as shown
above.

Thank you for any help.

You should be able to get away with <Alt+Enter

1 = Money <Alt+Enter
2 = Show
etc.

You can enter multiple lines of text in a cell by pressing ALT ENTER
at the end of each line.

Beautiful! I tried Shift and Ctrl but didn't think of trying Alt. Thank you.
