Easily found in Help under Keyboard ShortcutsKeys for entering, editing,
formatting, and calculating data

Alt + Enter is second in the list.

You should spend a few minutes one day going through the list of keyboard
shortcuts. Can be quite handy.

I want to have more than one line of text in the same Excel Cell without
using the wrap text format option. For example, I want to put an entire
address in the Cell by typing in the name of the person, then hit enter, type
the steet address, then hit enter, then type in the city, state, and zip.
