Task name - adding a paragraph break

Some of my task names are very long and will not fit onto the maximum width allowd for the column. How can I insert a paragraph break to allow the text to go on 2 lines. I have tried 'alt+return' as in an excel cell but this does not work.

Any help much appreciated

RE: Task name - adding a paragraph break

Within the ID column (column to the far left), hover over the line that seperates the two tasks. You will notice your cursor changes. Hold down with your left mouse button and drag the cursor down. Make the height of row double what it is by default. The text within the task Name will now wrap.

Hope this helps!

MS Project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
