Default Replacing ascii characters

I have imported information from Access where one of the fields contains
manual line breaks. It appears Excel converts the manual line break into a
square box. I would like to do a find and replace on these square boxes but
am having a hard time figuring out what code to use. I am thinking the ascii
code is either 10 or 13 for the mlb. So for the find field what would you
type? I have tried CHAR(10) and CHAR(13) but when it searches it says it
can't find the data I am searching for. I know I was able to accomplish this
a year or so ago but have since forgotten how to do it. Anyone have a
suggestion?

In general, if you are searching for symbols within an Excel file, how do
you indicate the ascii code in the "find what" field?
