limit characters returned a cell reference
Is char(10) the code for the soft return?

look for char(10) in your =search() or =find().

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?
