Hi,
I am sure there must be a way of doing this other than cut'n'pasting, but does anybody know how I can force a carriage return (line feed) into a cell in Excel when I am wrapping text?
i.e. when you press return excel takes you into the next cell. I want it to remain in the cell and start a new line.
I'm sure this is easy, but cannot find it in the online help.
Thanks in advance.

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
control + option + enter (.....I think, been a while since i used a mac)
