Default Search and replace for non printable characters

Hi

Using Excel 2002

I have a number of cells with abc¬xyz¬opq ... . I want to search and replace
the '¬' character for 'alt-enter' i.e. the enter key pressed whilst the 'alt'
key is pressed.

How do you do this.

I have tried recording a macro while doing this but all that is shown
changed is '¬' to chr(10). If i try apply this s&r then the cell is split to
a new line for each '¬'

Any ideas.

PS 'alt-enter' gives a soft line feed in the cell.

regards

Ric
