Alt+Enter does nothing
Hi guys.
I am trying to get a line break in lists but every time I press Alt+Enter absolutely nothing happens.
Anyone can drop in to help please?
Thanks in advance!

Monica_Moura You would need to double click in the cell before using alt+enter for it to work. Did you do that?
I have the same problem that alt + enter does nothing. It used to work fine.
Did you apply Wrap text to the cell format (use Ctrl+1)?
Here that's the only difference between two cells
Do we speak about Excel for Windows or Excel for Mac or which one?
I suspect you have been successful in inserting an ASCII 10 character but you do not have 'Wrap text" enabled for the cell so the display does not show multiple rows. The array formula
= CODE( MID( ref, {1,2,3,4}, 1 ) )
will test a four character string to see whether a 10 is present.
Even I am facing same problem. Wrap is enabled. This problem is persisting for last 2 years since I installed it
- Have you tried the second part of the recommendation? Namely, use MID to separate out individual characters from the string and CODE to allow you to see which character is selected. The line feed character is non-printing but should give a code value of 10 if it is present.
That should help narrow the problem down to one of string content or formatting.
