Typing in cells: New Paragraph ??

I am fairly new to Excel and this may be a very basic question, so I thank you in advance.

I would like to type in a single cell, and be able to start a new line in that cell. Usually this can be accomplished in every other program by either pressing; return, enter, shift+enter, or (less than sign)p(greater than sign).

How in the world can this be done in this mysterious Excel program??

I appreciate any help, as I have no idea how to even search for this question.

Thanks.

Joanna
