Forced new line in a cell: Excel

R

Raqueeb Hassan

Hello,

I wanted to start a forced new line after typing down the texts which
wraps down automatically in a given excel cell. Pressing [Enter] just
like any other Microsoft Office documents would take me to the next
cell as selected!

Googling some online help provided a [Alt]+[Enter] keystroke would
serve the purpose. But, that's not happening, is that a bug for excel?
But, it works in my coworker's pc!

So, it's not an Excel bug - more likely to be something to do with
your PC. Try swapping the keyboard with your co-worker to check that.

Hi Raqueeb,

Maybe,
You need to have 'Wrap text' set for Alt+Enter to work.
Although Excel should do that automatically when you hit Alt+Enter.

Just a thought
