Default How to substitute a comma with a newline char using Replace.

You followed these steps?

Selected a cell or cells.

EditReplace

What: enter a comma,

With: Hold the ALT key and type 0010(on numpad) or Dave's CTRL + j

Replace all.

Format the cell(s) to Wrap Text.

Using the numbers on the Num keypad, *not* the numbers under the function
keys.

I am trying to replace all commas with a newline character. What do I put
in
the Replace field?

Neither solution worked. I'm using the "Find and Replace" menu under Edit
-- Replace. I have several fields in one cell separated by commas. I would
like to substitute a new line character for each comma to create a short list
in each cell.

Example:

From:
user707@unix-mail, deliverable, mailer, ether, host, unix-mail.<domain,
user, user707@unix-mail.<domain

To:
user707@unix-mail
deliverable
mailer
ether
host
unix-mail.<domain
user
user707@unix-mail.<domain

Thank you,
