Are you sure that the character is really a linefeed? *If it is, then ctrl-j
should work fine.

If it's not, then Chip Pearson has a very nice addin that will help determine
what that
character(s) is:http://www.cpearson.com/excel/CellView.htm

=code(right(a1,1))
may help you determine that character if it's really the last character.

Thanks,
I tried that also, but the dialog still says it can't find the data
I'm searching for. *I can manually edit each cell and delete the

Using that code it says the character is '160'. I have used an
external hex editor and it said the character is an x'0A'. Now I'm
even more confused.
