How do you start a new line within a cell?

[newlywed2]

I think this is a very basic question, but how do you start a new line
(or break a line) within a cell?
When I try to hit enter, the hightlight just moves to the next cell.

Thank you.

hi,
data in a cell is stored as a continuous string. there is no "new line" per
say.
but you can wrap the text.
format>cells>alignment tab> check wrap text.
this way the text in the cell will seem to be on different lines.
