Default hard returns

In a large excel document, what are some ways to find hard returns in a cell?
I have tried find/replace--shift/enter. It does not work and also "locks"up
any futher use of find replace.
thanks

Default hard returns

If you are using it within Find/Replace then you can use CTRL-J. In
other situations (eg typing into a cell) you can use Alt-Enter to
force a line feed.

Hope this helps.

In the "Find What" box, enter:

<Ctrl < J

Leave "Replace With" blank.
