This particular tips comes from the fact that I’ve been asked this question several times now in the last few days alone, so I thought it would be a good idea to post it here: How do you put a Carriage Return in-between lines of text in a single cell? In other words, how do you use the Enter key like you would in Microsoft Word?

The answer to this is simple: Use Alt + Enter. When typing in your cell and you want to create a blank line before the next line of text starts, hold down the Alt key and press Enter. This will insert a blank line (like in Word) instead of shifting the focus to the next cell.
