Line breaks
Can someone please tell me how to do a line break or carriage return in Excel 2004 on a Mac? I read somewhere that it was something like Alt-Enter, but I have tried every combination of Control, Alt, Command, Shift, Enter and Return that I can think of. Instead of creating a new line, it advances to the next cell. I have checked preferences and can't find anything in there. Thanks. -- pdgood ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pdgood's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=31623 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=543288 |

Line breaks
This seems like a pretty basic question (no, I don't know the answer <bg).
If you don't get an answer in this newsgroup, maybe you'll get one he news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...c.office.excel pdgood wrote: Can someone please tell me how to do a line break or carriage return in Excel 2004 on a Mac?

Line breaks
Thanks for the response, and I agree it should be amazingly simple, yet no one seems to know the answer. The only way I can make it happen is to go into another program, type what I need, and then paste it into Excel. Obviously, there are situations where this is not very efficient. I tried the website you recommended, but alas OSX is not able to access sites that begin with the name "news://". (At least, that is what the error message says.) Thanks for your effort. -- pdgood ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pdgood's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=31623 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=543288 |
