Default How do I type 3 lines in one cell?

I'm trying to creatre a type of label in Excel. When I type the name and
address, it is printing up under one line as opposed to 1 line for the name
then one line for address then 1 line for state ect. How do I set or format
it to print as a label?

You need line breaks in your cell.

In edit mode, put your cursor right after the name and press Alt-Enter, then
do the same after the address, and again anywhere else you need line breaks.

BTW, labels are much, MUCH easier to do in Word, and Word can retrieve your
Excel fields into mailing labels. You'd need to put the names, addresses,
cities, etc into different columns to make it work, though.

Put an Alt-Enter between the lines.
