Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Nah, it ain't ^M. I'm searching for some other character that Excel will see as a new line....

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

^l should give you a line break

I didn't realize you could make the phone automatically change shape when a call comes in or an alarm goes off. Wacky!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, once they create the "liquid battery, speech recognition, flexible touch screen, [and] touch sensitive body cover," why not make it change shape? The world is your oyster.

Nope. At least it doesn't when in an html file being opened in Excel.

Your tag here.

tommyrot, this will do what you're asking for:

<html>

<head>

<style>
<!--table
br
   {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}
.xl24
   {mso-style-parent:style0;white-space:normal;}
-->

</style>

</head>


<table>
  <tr>
    <td class=xl24>adsf<br><br>asdfasdf<br><br><br>asdf</td>
  </tr>
</table>


</html>

I got this from saving an Excel file as htm and then reducing Microsoft's craptacular html code to just these essentials to get it to respect the br tags.

Otherwise, is there way to search an entire Excel document for a certain character (tilde, say) and replace it with a carriage return? In Word you can replace something with ^p for a paragraph (carriage return) or ^l (manual line break) but Excel does not work the same way.

I don't have a copy of excel at home, but I thought for sure there was a character combo that it would read as a line break or carriage return. Is there anything in the help file about line break or formatting characters?

We couldn't find anything.
