I have a column that has several lines of text in it. Each row of text has a
soft return (Alt-Enter) to force certain text to go to the next line.

Now I want to do a cell reference that only shows the text on the first row.
I found the "Right", "Left" and "Mid" function, but those seem to only be
able to limit by the number of characters and the number of characters in
the first row of text varies greatly from cell to cell.

I thought I could combine the "Search" or "Find" function to look for the
soft return, return the position of the return and place it in the "Left"
function, but I can not figure out how to search for the soft return.

Any suggestions?
