Excel: Press OPTION+RETURN to Enter Line Break in Cell Note

Last reviewed: October 31, 1994
Article ID: Q50091

SUMMARY

The "Microsoft Excel Reference" manual incorrectly states on page 500 that COMMAND+RETURN creates a line break in a cell note. This information is incorrect. In fact, this causes the cell note dialog box to close.

To manually insert a line break into a cell note in Microsoft Excel version 2.20, press OPTION+RETURN at the desired point for the text break.
