This is a bit of a quickie tip but I scratched my head on it for a few hours one day.
When in Excel, pressing ‘Enter’ (in the cell or in the formula bar) like how you would in Microsoft Word would only move the cursor to the next cell: To start a new line, double-click the cell which contains the text. Then, click the place where you want to insert a line break. You can also do this in the formula bar. Hi, I have a problem when I try to start a new line of text inside a cell.

It looks like some functions get turne. Start a new line of text inside a cell in Excel. To start a new line of text or add spacing between lines or paragraphs of text in a worksheet cell, press Alt+Enter to insert a line break. Double-click the cell in which you want to insert a line break. Click the location inside the selected cell where you want to break the line. Somewhere in some cell I need to insert a new line between two parts of the text. I tried ' r ' but it doesn't work, just displays two square symbols in cell.

If you use Office:Mac Excel, you may from time to time need to capture multiple lines of information into a cell. If you come from the Windows world, you will quickly come to realize that Alt+Enter doesn’t work.
If you want to insert a new line in Excel for the Mac, select the cell, type your first line and press Alt+Cmd+Enter.
There you have it, insanely easy.
