I have a long list of email addresses which are separated by commas, and I
want to convert the list to a table. When I tried to do this I discovered
that there are often hard returns (this is what I call the appearance of the
paragraph symbol) in the middle of an address, making it useless. Is there
some way to use the find and replace function to eliminate these hard returns?

Please reply to (e-mail address removed) Thanks, Thorns Craven
 
Turn on "Show/Hide Paragraph" from the icon on the standard toolbar. Open
Edit-Replace. Click "More," then Click on "Special" and select Paragraph
Mark for the "Find what" box. Be sure the "Replace with" box is empty of all
entries (unless you want to put in a space or something else). Click Find
Next, and see if it works. If it does, click "Change All" and you're done.

Click to expand...

Yes. Open the Replace dialog and click the More button. In the bottom
of the dialog, click the Special button and select Paragraph Mark from
the list. That will place the code ^p in the Find What box.

Then move the cursor to the Replace With box. Click Special again and
choose whatever character you want to replace the paragraph mark -- a
good choice is Manual Line Break, which is the character you get in
text when you press Shift+Enter.
