Default ALT +Enter not working?


Using Excel 2003 - Want to break a line of text in a cell so I can
create a second line of text within the cell...

Alt+Enter used to do the trick (forced line ending) but suddenly it's
not working. Not a hardware fault (Alt and Enter keys working
separately OK).

Has something been changed in a recent batch of MS updates that could
stop this shortcut?

Are there any other ways to input a forced text line ending while
staying within the same cell?

Thanks

ChrisB

Anyone else had a problem with this?

I've never had a problem. But someone posted this same problem yesterday. They
rebooted and the problem went away.

And have you tried a different keyboard?
