Hi all,

I recently upgraded to Excel 2013 and I am trying to use a text box within a form. In Excel 2003 the text box allowed users to enter text and make paragraphs. The Enter key would go to the next line just as it should but in Excel 2013 the enter button forces the cursor off of the text box on to the first unlocked cell at the top of the form or does nothing.

Why is this happening and is there a way around it?
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Have you tried ALT + Enter ?
What type of text box is it ??

Yep...tried that and some other combos...nothing worked.

It is just a text box selected from the options under "Insert". It doesn't make sense for them to create an option for a text box and not allow me to enter proper text into it in paragraph form. Retarded.
