Default Search for "Alt-Enter" character

I used the "alt-enter" keys to force the word-wrap in text for a number of
cells. I want to undo this word-wrapping but don't want to seek out every
cell where it occurs and manually un-word-wrap the text.

Can I do this with the "Replace" function?....if so, how do I search for the
character that is created by the "alt-enter" key combination?

You can use ctrl-j in the edit|Find or edit|Replace dialogs.
