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.
