Default Search and replace character with in excell cell

I am converting data from another application into Excel. There are certain
characters (representing ASCII 253) that need to be replaced with the value
of <alt+enter which is the internal newline + carriage return for data
within a single cell of a sheet. I cannot get the replace function to take
the new value. Who has any suggestions about this?

Default

In the "Replace With" box, enter:
<Alt 010
Using the numbers from the Num keypad, *not* the numbers under the function
keys.

Of course, you *will not* see anything in the box after you enter the code,
BUT, don't forget, line feeds aren't visible!
