Default Replace Line Feed

If you prefer a formula method, as opposed to the cool method Gary describes,
you can use this formula. The example assumes the value containing the line
feeds is in cell A1

=SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(10),";")

If you format a cell to wrap text, you can artificially put in a Line
Feed with ALT+ENTER. I you format back to unwrap, the Line Feed command
is shown as a square.

I have a spread sheet with a lot of Line Feeds, and I want them
replaced with semicolons, but they are quite elusive and I cannot eg.
put them into the search and replace function.

Anyone has a hint?
