Alt Enter Creates Tab Character
Usually if I enter Edit on a cell (F2) and hit Alt+Enter, it goes to the
next line within the cell and I can enter a new line of text. I am having a problem on one worksheet of spreadsheet where Alt+Enter does NOT go to a new line, and instead generates a visible tab character. The font is the same (Arial Regular 8pt) between the two worksheets. What setting might be causing this weird behavior? -- W |

Set the formatting to wrap text and you won't see the visible
character which is probably a linefeed 0010 character, not a Tab char.

... Set the formatting to wrap text and you won't see the visible character which is probably a linefeed 0010 character, not a Tab char. I did this originally, and it does not change the result. I still see the character at end of line, and I do NOT get a new line while remaining in Edit mode (F2 on the cell). And you are right it was new line character because if I save the change I do see second line on the second line. So data entry mode sees: first line of cell<special character that looks like squaresecond line of cell all on one line instead of multiple lines. But outside of data entry this becomes: first line of cell second line of cell So I believe I must have some setting for character visualization or editing mode set somewhere. Anyone who can guide me to this thanks. -- W On Wed, 4 Apr 2012 10:50:27 -0700, "W" wrote: Usually if I enter Edit on a cell (F2) and hit Alt+Enter, it goes to the next line within the cell and I can enter a new line of text.
