WordFast/Excel: How to avoid NL turning into "boxes"?

1) I am translating a big Excel file with WordFast. 2) A "line change" turns into a little square box in the Excel document.
Since I don't know how to fix this I normally just correct the Excel document after translation and convert the little boxes into line changes with "Alt + Enter". But my current Excel file is really big and it would take me forever to correct it afterwards.
I would appreciate your suggestions. TIA... See more

I will look into this as well. I actually DID try to search the forum before putting my question but you cannot find everything just by making a search.
