line break / hard return?

[jd]

How do I make a line break / hard return in a cell that contains only text?
For example, in MS Frontpage you hold down the ctl key and hit return.

jd, use Alt+enter

D'oh! Thanks guys. I use Excel maybe 1-2x a year and have never mastered all
the features- even the "simple" ones. I appreciate the replies.
