Replacing with a hard paragraph

Hi,

I have a block text of addresses that all end with a semi-
colon. I'd like to separate each address into one line.

I searched for ; to replace it with ;¶ but all I got was
exactly that, a semi-colon with a paragraph sign behind
it. Does anyone know if in Word, I can actually search
and replace with a "hard" paragraph break to break up this
huge block of text?

Thanks a lot,

Stephen
 
G'Day Stephen,

A paragraph mark is represented in Find/Replace by the
Special character(-pair) code: "^p" (which you may type
exactly as shown).

In the Find/Replace dialog, click the "More v" button,
then the "Special v" button to see more Special codes.

So Search: ";" AND
Replace: ";^p" will do the trick!
