RE: adding alot of text into one cell

Hello Ben

Thank you for your question.

To have text on more than one line inside a cell, you need to use Wrap Text. There are two ways to use this.

1. Select the cell, then go to Format - Cell - Alignment then tick the Wrap Text box. Then if necessary resize the column width/row height to control how many lines the text goes onto.

2. As you are typing into the cell, press Alt+Enter together to make a new line when you want to.

Kind regards
Amanda

Excel tip:

##### displaying in Excel

When you get a series of hash symbols (####) appearing in some of your cells in a spreadsheet, this can make you think that you've make some kind of mistake.

This is a common misconception - what this actually means is that the cell is not wide enough to fully display the content of the cell.

All you need to do to see what is actually in the cell is to widen the column that the cell is in.
