Windows excel on mac excel

Does anyone know how to insert a line break within a cell on my mac?
The function Alt and Enter on windows inserts a line break, moving the
insertion point to a new line within the cell. This is not working on
my mac. Thanks, Dionne

From Mac XL Help ("keyboard shortcuts"):

CONTROL+OPTION+RETURN Start a new line in the same cell

<sigh>Really wish MS would have stuck with the Mac shortcuts when they
ported Excel from Mac to Windows...</sigh>

On the mac it is option-apple-enter. Note, that cells created this way on
the Mac will not wrap in windows, and vice versa as you discovered.
