Default text-to-column problem

One option is to substitute the carriage return for other symbol. You can
create an additional column with a formula like:
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(10),"|")
And perform the text to columns on the results, using the | as separator.

Hope this helps,
Miguel.

I have complete addresses including hard carriage returnss in my original

delimiter for text-to-column conversion?
