Wrapping text in a cell
In a single cell, suppose I want text to appear on two lines. Viz:
Case One Case Two How do I do that so that I specify the wrap point? Thanks! |

If you are typing the data into the cell use Alt-Enter between each
string to indicate where you want a line break to occur. Case One<Alt-EnterCase Two |

If you are setting the contents of the cell via a formula or VBA code
make sure that you have changed the formatting for the cell also. Check that the <right mouse click Format Cells / Alignment Tab / Wrap Text check box is selected. For example, I created a formula for a cell: ="1st line"&CHAR(10)&"2nd line" This appeared as "1st line2nd line" on a single line in the cell initially. Once I changed the cell formatting (as above), the cell appeared as two lines with the 'split' as required. |
