Default Using a formula to wrap text

I am using Excel 2000
I have a worksheet which is in effect an index containing a reference number
and an address. the addresses were typed in, one cell per address, using
ALT+ENTER at the end of each line laying it out like an address label. The
cells are formatted a wrapped text.

I am now able to make use of a linked spreadsheet from an Access database
maintained elsewhere and more importantly always up to date. However, each
line of the address is in a different column, 6 in all, and also the managers
name, which is a bonus.

I can use CONCATENATE to bring all the columns into one column but this
produces the managers name and the address as one long line. I tried entering
(CHAR(10)) between the column references but this did not work eg
=(A1&(CHAR(10))&B1).

I did think of using Word but I am not doing a mailmerge and other parts of
my main worksheet have some complex calculations which I do not think Word
could cope with.

QUESTION:
Is there a way, which I can enter as a formula, which would bring all the
fields together, starting each field on a new line.

Thank you in advance for your help
