    Yeah, I notices just now, ALT + Enter does not work if you did not perform Merging cell previously. It's nothing to do with CTRL + 1. Even If you press CTRL+1 nothing will happen. AS "ALT + ENTER" works similarly as F4 (to Repeat action)

    @Ashish - You may refer to other shortcuts given to you and leave ALT + ENTER.

    Cheers!!!

    Ah! I got it.

    I did not use Merge cells at all; however to make similar view I use Indentation.

    That works but not everywhere because it may confuse user as which cell is containing the value / text. So merging cell will give the clear idea but both works fine and depend on the requirement.

    Not merging confuses and merging give clear idea? I never heard of it before.
    Maybe I could try merge cell once to see is this true.

    @anil: I find it difficult to work with Merged cells due to the referencing problem.
