Default Blank space gets inserted after text

For most columns, I am specifying a wrappable text format. Sometimes, after
entering text in a cell, I get an extra blank line embedded at the end and I
have to go back and manually close up the space. (So, if the text actually
takes 2 lines, the row becomes 3 lines deep.) However, the problem is not
consistent and I can't always reproduce it. Sometimes the height of the cell
adjusts itself to the text just fine. I thought I may be inadvertently
hitting the spacebar at the end of the last word, causing a wraparound, but
that doesn't seem to be it. Any ideas?

Hi Ros,

Have you try using alt-enter key? Instead using wrap text you can able to
switch this off format cells text control wrap text.

Thanks for responding. Yes, I sometimes use Alt-Enter to force a line break
when I want the text to go to the next line.
