software

Can someone please tell me how to do a line break or carriage return in
Excel 2004 on a Mac? I read somewhere that it was something like
Alt-Enter, but I have tried every combination of Control, Alt, Command,
Shift, Enter and Return that I can think of. Instead of creating a new
line, it advances to the next cell. I have checked preferences and
can't find anything in there.
Thanks.--

If you don't get an answer in this newsgroup, maybe you'll get one he

Thanks for the response, and I agree it should be amazingly simple, yet
no one seems to know the answer. The only way I can make it happen is
to go into another program, type what I need, and then paste it into
Excel. Obviously, there are situations where this is not very
efficient.
I tried the website you recommended, but alas OSX is not able to access
sites that begin with the name quot;news://quot;. (At least, that is what the
error message says.) Thanks for your effort.--

looking for something else.
