Does anyone know how find a row in a worksheet which
contains carriage return character (usually a square) in
its cell ?

--------
Maybe CHAR(10) ?
(carriage return via Alt + Enter)

Assume you want to check range A1:C10 in Sheet1
for cells with carriage return

In a new Sheet2:

Put in A1:
=IF(ISERROR(SEARCH(CHAR(10),Sheet1!A1)),"","Yes")

Copy A1 across to C1, then down to C10
to cover the same range as in Sheet1

A1:C10 in Sheet2 will return "Yes" for corresponding
cells with carriage returns in range A1:C10 in Sheet1
