Start a new line of text inside a cell in Excel
Strange, it works for me without any problems ... just click behind the existing text,
coursor flashes and Alt + Enter,
new text entered and just enter
and the line break appears with the new text added.
As Mr. Baklan already informed us with his link, there is a temporal bug in this command.
Try manual cell wrapping by clicking on all cells to wrap in advance, or the alternative method Right-click the cell whose text you want to break, then click Format Cells.
On the Alignment tab, select the Word wrap check box and click OK.
Unfortunately, I can't help in any other way at the moment.
Nevertheless, I wish you a lot of fun with Excel.
You are welcome, but that's thanks to Allen Wyatt: "You might also want to try a different keyboard with your system." I guess he covered all possible reasons.
- BINGO!!! I switched to a different keyboard, and Ctrl + Enter works fine. 🙂
So it seems that the problem was with my original keyboard.
Thank you Nikolino and Sergei for all your help! - Thanks. I appreciate you trying. I'm going to try a different keyboard. Perhaps that might be the problem?
Thanks again!
