If you are entering data, simply use CTRL-Enter (CMD-Enter on Mac) when you want a new line 2. If you want to edit a cell you've left, double-click the cell, put your cursor where you want the newline to appear, and use CTRL- or CMD-Enter. Do this as many times as you want, then hit TAB or select another cell with the mouse. It's not necessary to go to the input line at all. John
