Are you kidding? You can’t do “control-enter” in Excel 2011 for Mac while editing a cell, and get a newline or line break within that cell. Sure, you can press the key-combo, but the result is exiting the edit mode (with the edited cell still selected, so, to be sure, the functionality IS different from just an\u00a0ordinary\u00a0“enter”, which results in exiting edit mode and selecting the cell below the edited one).<\/p>\n

Nope, in Excel 2011 you gotta hit “command-option-enter” to get a newline. Curiously “control-command-enter” seems to work too.<\/p>\n

These little things, for me, are the hardest part switching from Windows to Mac…<\/p>\n

Oh, just to give my real first annoyance: hitting “F2” in Excel 2011 doesn’t get you in the cell’s edit mode. Nope, you must use “control-u” to do that. Elementary, my dear Watson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
