One of the most underrated Excel tips is this simple trick that makes your sheets look clean, readable, and user-friendly — adding line breaks inside a single cell.
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.
