Address block carriage returns not correct

Guest

I am attempting to do a mail merge with the addresses on a spreadsheet
(.csv). When I imported the file into Excel, the little "box" characters are
in the place of the carriage returns. I have tried
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(13)&CHAR(10),CHAR(9)) and they will not leave! What am I
doing wrong? Here is a paste of one of the address blocks. (of couse the
"boxes" aren't showing here for you to see).

Thanking anyone in advance for the helping hand.

=SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(13)&CHAR(10),CHAR(9))

Perhaps try it as:
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(10),""),CHAR(13),"")
