    Search and Replace in Word and.or Excel


    Windows 10 and Office 365

    If I have a sentence in Word and I want to change a bit of text by adding something at the end of every sentence -
    eg Old text. to read Old text. New text.
    I can search for the paragraph marker using ^p and replace it with " New text.^p so that Old text.^p becomes Old text. New text.^p
    My sentence is now Old text. New text.

    I want to do the same with text in cells in a Word or Excel table, but I don't know what control character to use. It's not ^p. Can anyone tell me what it is at the end of text in each cell of Word and Excel? Word shows a small circle with 4 spikes (a mini Corona!); Excel doesn't show anything.

    :)

    Thanks Berton.
    In Word you can use Find and Replace and select More then Special and there is a list of codes for Paragraph mark ^p, Manual line break ^l or Non-breaking space ^s and search for those. Using Word I could search for ^p at the end of a line of text in a cell then replace it with ^p new text^p
    What I am looking for is something similar that was at the end of the text in an Excel cell that I could use in a similar way, but I don't think there is a paragraph break at the end of a line of text in an Excel spreadsheet.
    I could convert the spreadsheet to Word, do the work there as detailed above and then convert back to Excel.
