I forgot to mention..... I would like all line break characters
to be the same throughout the entire string. Using
CRLF or vbCrLf will be fine. Or, just one CR is good.

As long as it's consistent all throughout the string.

Ok, so if you say there are possibly 2 cr characters together, but only
1 LF character regardless of how many Cr chars, then...

'delete all CRs
s = Replace(s, vbCr, "")

'replace all LFs with CRLFs
s = Replace(s, vbLf, vbCrLf)

OR

s = Replace(Replace(s, vbCr, ""), vbLf, vbCrLf)
