Creating help files in Excel

["Gary Robinson" <RobinsonG2 -at- michigan -dot- gov>]

I have several hundred fields in a new software application that need to
be documented.  Both the project manager and the software architect have
said these files have to be in Excel so they can be batch loaded into
the software for compilation.  Typically, my field-level help will be a
title and a 2 to 4 sentence paragraph with the title and occasional key
term bolded, as follows.

Title

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.  The quick brown fox jumps
over the lazy dog.  The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.  The
quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.  The quick brown fox jumps over
the lazy dog.

So far, I can find no way to create or import formatted text or line
breaks in Excel.  Has anyone found a way to produce formatted text and
line breaks within a single spreadsheet cell?  I'm no Excel guru, in
fact I rarely have to use it for anything and this is the first time
I've been requested to use it to create help files.

Regards,

Gary
