Start a new line of text inside a cell in Excel
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.

- harvey80Oct 25, 2021Copper 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?- SergeiBaklanOct 25, 2021Diamond Contributor
To my knowledge there is no such setting. Please check Alt+Enter Stopped Working Correctly (Microsoft Excel) (tips.net) if helps.

As far as I could understand the text, it is mostly due to the language selection,
but with my Excel 2016 where I tried it, it works without problems,
just has to be in the cells and it always works.
It's weird, even though I keep changing the language selection.
Will probably be like that when it was tried out by excel specialists ... luckily not with my excel :)).
