Default Insert a semicolon in lieu of ALT Enter

Hey everyone,

Excel 2003 or 2007 - I have both

I have a column of addresses that were entered into one cell at a time using
ALT + Enter for the individual address lines. For example, ONE cell will
look like this:

John Freeman
123 Melody Lane
Nutley, NJ 07110

I need to separate everything into multiple columns. So ONE column will
just contain the first & last names, another will contain the Street Address,
another contains the City, so on a so forth.

I know about the CLEAN function to remove the hard returns. The only
problem is separating the data. I was thinking if I could insert a semicolon
where all of the Hard Returns are for all the address, I could then use
Text-to-Columns to separate it out the way I want to.

Is there a way to do this? THANKS!
Joe
