# Inserting Line Breaks in Cells

## Inserting line breaks in LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet cells

1. To insert a line break in a spreadsheet cell, press the Command Ctrl
   +Enter keys.

   This will work only with the text edit cursor inside the cell, not at the input line. So first double-click the cell, then single-click at the text position where you want the line break.

You can search for a newline character in the Find & Replace dialog by searching for \n as a regular expression. You can use the text function CHAR(10) to insert a newline character into a text formula.

1. Select the cells for which you want an automatic line break.

2. Choose \<emph\>Format - Cells - Alignment\</emph\>.

3. Select \<emph\>Wrap text automatically\</emph\>.
