Default how do I copy several lines of word text into one excel cell?

In a word doc I need to copy several lines of text and paste them into one
excel cell. I can't seem to find any help telling me how to do this (each
line pastes into a different cell)

You can either double click the cell or press F2 key to get into edit mode
for the cell, then the text pasted would all go into the cell.
