Default How do I place 3 lines of text (an address) in 1 cell?

I want to place a 3 line address in one cell. Every time I try to press
"Enter" to go to the next line... it goes to the next cell. Please help.

Before press down Enter, hold the ALT key down to insert a linefeed
character.
May need to format cell to allow word wrap.
best wishes

Mark

Bernard has shown you how but do you really want to do this?

You can run into problems later when trying to sort by address numbers or street
names.

Also you may someday want to do a mailmerge for labels or such.

You should have each section in a separate cell.
