Copy & Paste cell that has alt + enter

D

DME777

I am trying to copy and paste a cell where I've used alt + enter to put text
on the next line.

When I paste, the data after each instance of alt + enter is placed in a
new row in the same column rather than copying it into one cell as it appears
in the original.

How can I paste the data into one cell?

Excel 2003 and 2007.

If I copy a cell and paste all contents go into one cell.

BUT...................

If I copy the contents from the formula bar, select a cell and paste, the
contents go into separate cells.

Which of these operations are you doing?
