@Debs-at-work Alt-Enter produces a line feed when entered inside a cell. In order to see the sentence break into separate lines you need to set the cell to wrap text. In the picture below, both cells contain the exact same text. One with wrap text OFF and the other with wrap text ON (top right hand corner).
