Manual Line Breaks Excel Mac
To add spacing between lines or paragraphs of text in a cell, use a keyboard shortcut to add a new line. Double-click the cell in which you want to insert a line break Click the location where you want to break the line. The texts are somewhat 'formatted' through the use of line breaks - i.e. The message is displayed over several lines. Now I want to import the texts into memo-fields in Access - but here this formatting disappears. I even get some strange characters at the end of my texts. How do I import from Excel and maintain this line formatting? How can I do it in Excel for Mac? Is there a way to represent the line break within the Excel 'Replace' tool, just like ^p in the Word 'Replace' tool? Or is there a way to paste a Word table (which has line breaks within the table cells) into Excel, keeping the line breaks? Edited by moderator: email address removed.
When entering text into a cell, sometimes we’d like to insert a line break for betterformatting. A line break is like when you’re in Word and you press Enter tocreate a new line. This can also be called a carriage return. We’ll cover twoways to do this.
- Line breaks in plain text
- Line breaks in cell formulas
One thing is certain, you shouldn’t use two cells for creating the illusion of line breaks.
Adding a Line Break in Plain Text
This one is easy. While you’re editing the text of a cell, you can simply pressAlt+Enter
(or Command+Option+Enter
for Mac) to add a line break as shownbelow.
NOTE: This will automatically set Wrap Text ON for cell A1.

Notice that in the formula bar the break is kept there, but it is one singleline in cell A1
. This is because Excel needs to format the break and Wrap Textis the way to do it. The formula bar is immune to show any formatting, but itwill show you the data you have (in this case, some text, then a line break andsome more text after). It’s just another way to show you that you have a breakin the cell, but it’s not formatted to show it that way.
Adding a Line Break in Cell Formulas
To enter a line break in a cell formula, reference the text and concatenate itwith the ampersand (or you can use the CONCATENATE()
function) along with thefunction CHAR(10)
to insert the break (CHAR(13)
on Mac). The CHAR()
function takes in an integer and will show a character based on that integer. Please seeMicrosoft’s page on the CHAR() functionfor more info. The 10
(13
for Mac) in this case refers to the character“Line Feed.”
Let’s take B1
and add a formula to combine cells A1
and A2
with a linebreak in between them. The formula to use is:

Notice this time that Excel does not automatically turn on Wrap Text when weenter the line break as a formula. You have to manually turn it on to get theformatting you want.
