I wolud like to write into one table cell long string. Is there any option to write the string in 2 lines and put it into same cell (similar to Alt+enter in excel)?

Thanks,

Here is an example, taken directly from 

     Help==>Scripting Index

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
dt << Set Cell Height( 20 );

JMP does not have such an option.  The row height can be changed, which will allow long strings to wrap within a cell, however, when you change one rows height, all rows will be changed to the same height.

Perhaps you could put the escape seequence '\!N" in your text?

dt = New Table( "Double Height",
				Add Rows( 1 ),
				New Column( "Column 1", Character, Nominal)
			);

Column(dt, "Column 1")[1] = "The quick\!Nbrown fox";

Re: how to create 2 text lines in one table cell

I am using JMP11 with windows , and does not success to change the hight of the cell.

You will need to upgrade to get the cell height capability

The Cell Height() setting for JSL was first implemented in JMP 12, therefore, you can use JSL to set it.
