Tabbing/Enter Key - Trying to create paragraphs in cell
 
Hi -

When I try to create a paragraph in an excel cell by using the tab or enter
key, it just selects the next cell over or down, and will not start a new
line. I have selected wrap text and searched for formatting options, but I
continue to struggle with this. What I do to get around it is create my
paragraph in Microsoft Word, and then paste it into the cell in the format I
want.

Anyone else having problems or know what I can do to fix this? Thank you!
