Excel 2008 carriage return

I have data that I would like to store in an excel spreadsheet. It's
currently in a Word table. The problem is that each line has some cells that
split over several lines. If I copy and paste it as is, the data split over
lines get put into separate rows. I have partly solved this problem by
replacing the paragraph mark (^p) in Word with a tilde (~). Now the rows are
as I want them. But I want to replace the tilde in Excel 2008 with a carriage
return. I know that to enter carriage returns manually I use Alt + Enter. But
I cannot work out how to express that in the Find and Replace dialog. I have
tried searching for answers to this question, but have had no luck so far. If
anyone can help I would be very grateful.
Many thanks,
Jo

I think your question would be better asked in an Excel
group rather than a dotnet programming group.

Hi I am trying to create a MS Excel format CSV but I can't figure out how to get the line feed/carriage return/new record working properly. I am nding each line/record with these characters: "\r\n" but the Excel file just loads all the field in one row as if it doesn't recognise these characters. These are the headers I am using to create the file:

Our ASP.NET app produces a page in excel format using Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" Response.Write(strExcel) (where strExcel is a tab and carriage return delimited string) When this page is sent to the browser (IE6SP1), the excel active X control opens up within IE6. Then if you do a File|Save As, you can save the file locally.

I have searched the web forums, and can't seem to find an answer to this particular problem I have. In an excel sheet, cells in one column have formatted text in the "wrapped" cells. For many of the cells it is far more than 256 char. After import to Access, the carriage return (CR) and Line Feed (LF) is shown with a square symbol in the text, and the text is just "dumped" into the field without CR or LF. Have also tried to indentify the...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
