Shortcut to Remember:

Alt + Enter


💡 Why This Is Useful:

  • Format addresses over multiple lines

  • Create bullet-style lists in one cell

  • Leave readable comments or task steps

  • Avoid horizontal scrolling disasters


🔍 Real-World Use Case:

Let’s say you’re maintaining a shipping log. Instead of putting the full address in one stretched-out line, just hit Alt + Enter where needed:


John Doe 221B Baker Street London


This keeps your sheet readable, printable, and clean.
