Use the Replace function. Both the Manual Line Break (its official name) and
the Tab Character are available on the "Special" menu that appears when you
click "More." Try replacing a couple by hand; if it works well, click
"Replace all."

Have a list that I want to put into either a spread sheet or database.
The list has "manual line returns" (a left facing arrow with a a vertical
line at the beginning)
I need to replace the manual line return with a tab.
How do I do this?
URGENTLY need answer.

Thank you
