Within a cell I'm attempting to create a number of bullets e.g.
1) get tickets, 2) get money, 3) take out dog

Visually can I create a list which would look like:
1) get tickets,
2) get money,
3) take out dog

The way I've done it for years was to force a wrap by adding spaces.  There
must be another way.  HELP didn't provide any clues.

Press ALT+ENTER after each bullet and resize column width, if necessary.

Hi,

To create a new line within a cell use ALT+ENTER.

Cheers
Andy

You can force new lines in a cell by using alt-enter.

and if you want to do the same in a concatenation formula
  =A1 & Char(10) & B1
The use  Alt+Enter  turns on  format, cells, alignment, wrap text
 otherwise, you will have to turn on cell wrap yourself like when
 you use concatenation.
