Question

How do I split a cell in Excel into two or more where they are divided horizontally. Please see the screenshot below:

You'll notice that row number 2 (cat/parrot) is divided. I'm not sure how to replicate this. I tried CMD + ALT + Enter which split the text on two lines, but that is not the effect I'm looking for. In the screenshot example the cat and parrot are selectable like they are in their own cells.

thanks for any help
