How do I insert a line break in Numbers?

Hi Jonny,

Welcome to the Numbers discussion area. The best place to begin looking for answers to your basic questions on how to use Numbers is the Numbers User Guide PDF, downloadable from a link in the Numbers Help Menu.

There are at least two ways to make multiple lines in a cell. One is to use the Option-Return (Alt-Return on some keyboards) instead of a normal Return. Another way is to select your table and then View the Inspector, Table tab. Down at the bottom of the Table Inspector pane is a checkbox that controls what happens by default when you hit the Return key as you are entering text in a cell. That box is checked in the basic template, so hitting Return takes you out of the cell. Un-checking that box will cause Return to give you a new line rather than moving the focus to a different cell.

Hope this helps.

Jerry
