Start a new line of text inside a cell in Excel
I'm trying to start a new line of text inside a cell in Excel.
I've always done this by simply pressing alt + enter.
But now it's jumping to the cell below (instead of a new line within the cell).
Can anyone please tell me what happened, and how I can fix this?

You have to stay in the line after the text with the courser flashing, only then press Alt + Enter.
In this way you can create a line wrap several times in the same cell.
Hope I was able to help you with this info.

- harvey80Copper ContributorThanks, but the cursor is flashing, I press alt + enter, and it Still Jumps To the Cell Below.
Is there a setting for Excell that addresses this?- SergeiBaklanDiamond Contributor
To my knowledge there is no such setting. Please check Alt+Enter Stopped Working Correctly (Microsoft Excel) (tips.net) if helps.
