Hi All,

I have a regular text box in Excel 365.

All i want to be able to do is press enter to ho to a new line but its not letting me do that - i tried pressing down and nothing happens too...

I also want to format the text box so when i press enter i get a bullet point like i do in powerpoint

where am i going wrong
 

Excel Facts

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
So i cant press enter from letter pad but can from other areas of pad?

Probably not. I have seen similar questions, using VBA may be possible.
You can highlite the text and right click to add bullets. But not as you type.
