Default Excel 'Special' Characters in Expressions

I have a need to be able to create a funtion/expression that can issue a
'hard carriage return & line feed'. On the keyboard this would be 'Alt' +
'Enter'. I want to take two (or more) cells and combine them into one cell
with each value on it's own 'line' in the receiving cell.
============================
Receiving Cell Cell 1 Cell 2
Smith John Smith
John
============================
I am trying to create a Membership Directory for print and distribution. I
do having it working by determining the length of the Sending Cell and then
padding the end with 'n' spaces depending on the size of the Receiving Cell
and the length of the Sending Cell. This works but is rather arbitrary
unless using fixed fonts which is not reasonable.
Could I capture this 'special' character by recording a macro (which I will
try)? Or does someone know what this 'special' character might be?

Thanks for any help you might provide,
DannyDont
