    Using concatenate to include a line return

    I have a string of text in one cell and another string in a different cell.
    I'd like to use the concatenate worksheet function to have them in a single
    cell seperate by a line return. This then repeats down the columns.

    e.g. A B C (what I'd like)

    1 ABC DEF ABC
    DEF
    2 GHI JKL GHI
    JKL

    Does anyone know how I can insert a line return "character / symbol" into
    the concatenate worksheet function to make this work or alternatively can
    anyone suggest another way of doing this???

    Thanks in advance all you lovely people....

    RE: Using concatenate to include a line return

    CHAR(10) is the symbol for the in-cell Carraige Return.

    =A1&CHAR(10)&B1 will return the concatenated values of A1 and B1 in a
    single line, separated by a little square symbol. If you then re-format the
    cell, Right-click > FormatCells > AlignmentTab > check the WrapText box, then
    the in-cell Carraige Returns will take affect and the row will automatically
    resize.
