Default CSV File

I have a CSV file that contains an address in a single cell with the
various components (name, address, city, state, zip) all separated by
a coma. I need to search the cell find the coma press alt enter then
find the next one. Thanks in advance.

Default CSV File

Newguy,

If it's a CSV cell, there are no cells for the data to all be in one of, in a coma. When
it's imported, the separate fields should come out of their comas and wind up in separate
columns, if done properly. You won't want it all in one cell, Alt-Enters or not.

You could use Find & Replace (CTRL-H). Highlight all your cells withe
the addresses in, CTRL-H, then:

Find What: , (comma)
Replace With CTRL-J or ALT-010 (on numeric keypad)

Replace All.

Hope this helps.
