How to put 2 lines of text in an Excel cell Place cursor at desired location in text, press: ctrl + alt (option) + enter (return) This will allow you to enter multiple lines within a single Excel cell. This is not the same as “word wrap”, which simply wraps one long line of text to fit the cell. I added this reminder-Post to my blog because I could never remember how to make 2 lines of text in an Excel cell. It was so frustrating! I’m on a Mac, and still using the Excel for Mac 2011 edition. I know, I’m old school.
If you’re on a PC, use Alt H V V into the cell you want. This pastes the value only.

=B4 & ( 10 ) &C4 & ( 10 ) &D4 How this formula works This formula 'glues together' the pieces of text that appear in B4, C4, and D4 using the ampersand (&) which is the concatenation operator in Excel. In between each piece of text, the CHAR function appears with an argument of 13. The character code for a line break in Excel varies depending on the platform. On Windows, the code is 10 and on a Mac it's 13. The result of the concatenation is text with line breaks: Traci Brown¬ 1301 Robinson Court¬ Saginaw, MI 48607 Note: make sure you have text wrap enabled on cells that contain line breaks.
