Splitting long equations to Multiple Lines

[zdas04]

It seems to me that the help function in MathCAD has gotten progressively less useful in each version. I'm using V14 and trying to split a long equaiton onto multiple lines so it will print. The cntl Enter combination will split a + or minus, but it just drops the next line down below where it already was (kind of worthless) and it only works for summation.

Is there a similar command for multiplication? I couldn't even find the "cntl Enter" key combination in the help, but I remember it from V2 and it still works.

I have Ver. 13, not 14 and it moves the next line to the left, not straight down:

a =: b + c + d + e
becomes
a =: b + c ...
     + d + e

Is this another reason not to upgrade?

I have version 14.0 M020 and it works just like your version 13.

OK so it isn't straight down, but it is way indented (I use pretty long function names so I can tell what they mean).
