Click the 'Insert' tab and then click 'Text Box' in the Text group. Click and drag over your image, where you want to place the text to create a new text box. A cell is a text box unless used for a formula. If you want a dedicated and movable box for text then use WordArt and insert a WordArt object. You can change the text, font, size, etc. And move the object's location in the spreadsheet. Click the 'Insert' tab and then click 'Text Box' in the Text group. Click and drag over your image, where you want to place the text to create a new text box.
It's pretty amazing how bad the manual MS gives you to help you figure out how things work. If you put in text box chart, nothing comes up relating to those key words. And on the internet they don't have anything for excel for mac about text boxes in charts. Here's what they have for PChttp://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex..010254121.aspx
- Click the chart to which you want to add a text box.
This displays the Chart Tools, adding the Design, Layout, and Format tabs.
- On the Layout tab, in the Insert group, click Text Boxhttp://officeimg.vo.msecnd.net/en-us..A006044755.gif.

- In the chart, click where you want to start a corner of the text box, and then drag until the text box is the size that you want.
- In the text box, type the text that you want.
The text will wrap in the text box. To start a new line in the text box, press ENTER.
- When you finish typing, press ESC to cancel editing mode, or click anywhere outside of the text box.

What you want to do is to wrap the text in the current cell. You can do this manually by pressing Alt + Enter every time you want a new line
Or, you can set this as the default behaviour by pressing the Wrap Text in the Home tab on the Ribbon. https://sureheavenly.weebly.com/text-difference-tool-download-for-mac.html. Now, whenever you hit enter, it will automatically wrap the text onto a new line rather than a new cell.

You have to use Alt+Enter to enter a carriage return inside a cell.

- Edit a cell and type what you want on the first 'row'
- Press one of the following, depending on your OS:
Windows:Alt + EnterMac:Ctrl + Option + Enter https://sureheavenly.weebly.com/free-text-twist-for-mac.html. - Type what you want on the next 'row' in the same cell
- Repeat as needed.
Note that inserting carriage returns with the key combinations above produces different behavior than turning on

. In the screenshot below, column A
has the carriage returns and column B
has Wrap Text
turned on. Get texts on mac. Changing the width of a column with carriage returns doesn't remove them. Changing the width of a column with Wrap Text
turned on will change where the lines break.1,36944 gold badges1818 silver badges3232 bronze badges

Alt + Enter never worked for me. I had to go to
jonscaFormat Cells
and make sure that the Number
tab was set to Text
. That allowed me to see exactly as I had input. My issue could have been Mac specific though.3,7241414 gold badges3030 silver badges4545 bronze badges
