In Excel's "Edit Mode," which keyboard shortcut allows you to insert a manual line break within a single cell to manage long text strings or multi-line formulas?
Alt + Enter
When an Excel cell is in Edit Mode you are typing content directly inside that one cell.
Pressing the Enter key by itself would confirm the entry and move the active cell to the next row, so it cannot create a new line inside the same cell.
To force a manual line break within the current cell you hold the Alt key and then press Enter.
This inserts a line break so that long text strings or multi-line formulas are displayed on separate lines while still remaining inside a single cell.
So the correct shortcut is Alt + Enter.
Ctrl + Enter fills all selected cells with the same entry, Shift + Enter confirms the entry and moves the selection upward, and Tab + Enter is not a defined line-break combination, so none of them insert an in-cell line break.
