# Inserting Line Breaks in Cells

## Inserting line breaks in LibreOfficeDev Calc spreadsheet cells

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.
