Newline in spreadsheet cell

Asked by rockmuncher in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: , , ,

Dumb Q, but how do you insert a newline into a textstream in an excel cell?  For example, user want's to type in something like "There's no place like <CR> home".  

I've tried char(13), but that just inserts a nice little square box.
I've tried vbcrlf, but that results in #NAME? error.
I've even tried the old Word table cell method of <CTRL><ENTER>, but that doesn't werk either!
