Excel drives me nuts. I have to keep on searching the web just to remember that in a spreadsheet cell you need to press <CTRL><ALT><ENTER> to type in a new line, since simply pressing enter moves you out of the cell. Now that I’ve blogged about it, I may actually remember how to do it later.

HEY No One Is Perfect;
You just came close IMHO… this problem has been driving me NUTS! It took you to solve the problem, before any Microsoft answer did!! Typical, as Microsoft hates Mac.
YAE!

Lol, I kept pressing the apple key and the return key and wondering why isn’t it working. I can’t believe I forgot again *headslap*
Thanks for this!

I love my Mac, but some of the “little” issues like this with Mac Excel have been driving me…… Anyway, thanks for posting the solution!

This was driving me nuts! I tried using alt as in Windows and it didn’t work! And was trying every combination possible, so you saved me a lot of time, thank you!

Thank you. The only rude person I ever met at the Apple store made 20 excuses before I had to walk away. Too bad I had my fist bad experience in the Apple store by a person who simply refused to listen.
You saved the day with you helpful tip.
