Line breaks

Can someone please tell me how to do a line break or carriage return in
Excel 2004 on a Mac? I read somewhere that it was something like
Alt-Enter, but I have tried every combination of Control, Alt, Command,
Shift, Enter and Return that I can think of. Instead of creating a new
line, it advances to the next cell. I have checked preferences and
can't find anything in there.
Thanks.

This seems like a pretty basic question (no, I don't know the answer <bg>).

If you don't get an answer in this newsgroup, maybe you'll get one here:

Thanks for the response, and I agree it should be amazingly simple, yet
no one seems to know the answer. The only way I can make it happen is
to go into another program, type what I need, and then paste it into
Excel. Obviously, there are situations where this is not very
efficient.
I tried the website you recommended, but alas OSX is not able to access
sites that begin with the name "(At least, that is what the
error message says.) Thanks for your effort.

I don't know if this is too late to help you, but I found this when I was
looking for something else.

Line breaks in mac are OPTION, COMMAND, ENTER
