In the process of working with Excel, sometimes you need to make a new line in one cell so that your data will display fully in the cell without being overflowed to another cell or not displaying all the data. If you do not know how to make a new line in Excel 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, please refer to the following tutorial article.
Method 1: Use the key combination Alt + Enter
When you want to make a new line in a cell, at any position in the cell, you use this method to create a new line.
Step 1: First, you put the cursor in the position you want to line down the cell.
If you are entering data, then stop where you want the line to go.
Step 2: After you've determined the position of the line you click the Alt + Enter combination to enter the line, this time from the position you put the mouse cursor will be down the line immediately, you just need to align content accordingly.
And if you are entering the data that you line down, the mouse cursor will be down the line, you continue to enter the data you want.
Method 2: Use the Wrap Text feature
The Wrap Text feature in Excel helps you to automatically wrap text in a cell, you do not need to choose the starting position of the line, but Excel will automatically wrap the line depending on the width of the cell. The content will be in a new line until all the data in the cell is displayed.

Step 2 : Select Home -> Wrap Text to select the automatic newline feature.
Immediately the cells you select will be automatically added, the position down the line depending on the width of the cells and the number of lines according to the length of the data in the cell.
You just need to align the data cell, if you want the data to line with the content, you can adjust the width of the cell.
With white cells, when you use Wrap Text to create a new line, when you look at it, you will see that the cells will not change, but when you enter the data, the width of the cell will be automatically adjusted when the mouse enters the width of the cell. Move to the bottom of the line.

That way, the cells you select will be automatically downlined and aligned to the customizations you have set.
