I need to rewrite a filter that takes regular CR-LF (Chr(13)Chr(10)
characters out of all the comments on a page but leaves carriage returns
entered in typing in the comment.

The latter are apparently NOT the regular vbCRLF pair of characters. I have
written a filter that distinguishes between the two types of carriage
returns by using the vbCRLF constant in a SEARCH worksheet function, but I
also need to detect whether any "soft returns" are included in a comment and
count them. This is necessary in order to know how to size the comment after
filtering it. (The procedure both resizes and changes the shape of the
comment.)

So my question is, what are the characters entered into a comment when one
(manually) types a carriage return into a comment using Insert Comment.

The vbCRLF comments are imbedded in imported text that is used in creating
many of the comments on a page using a VBA procedure.

So the question is, what is the code sequence of the carriage return typed
in when one hits Enter in inserting a comment into a spreadsheet?

Thank you.
