i have a long essay in one paragraph and i want to use wordpad to replace all
the "full-stop" to "full-stop plus a carriage return" so that the whole
paragraph breaks into one sentence in one line. where can i find the code
for carriage return? many thanks.
 
Press enter after the desired word. Press enter again to get a line spacer
between paragraphs.

sorry you misunderstand me. i don't want to press numerous "enters". i want
to use the "replace all" function. i can type my desired word in the "find"
box but i don't know how to type a "carriage return" in the "replace" box.

If I am not mistaken, replace only does only one word/phrase at a time. You
can not do replacements on multiple and disconnected words or phrases.

there's a "replace all" option under "replace" of wordpad. i can replace all
"." to "," by stiking the "replace all" option. but i can't replace even
one "." to ".<CR/LF>" . i have tried "enter", "shift+enter" etc. is there
any hidden code for the <CR/LF> or linebreak? what i want to do is to
breakdown the whole long paragraph into one sentence in one line. apart from
striking numerous "enters" manually, is there any automatic and quick way?
thanks.

There is an ASCII code for the carriage return, (Alt +13 on the keypad) but
it does not work in WordPad.
I don't think WordPad has the power to use these special control feature
that are available in "fully capable" word processors like Word or
WordPerfect. If you can't afford Word or WordPerfect, try OpenOffice.
OpenOffice is free for the downloading at www.openoffice.org.
 
You could write a short script / program to open up the file and replace it
with the combination you want, but in the 8 hours (at least) you've spent
pondering it, I'm sure you could easily have done it by hand, unless it's
one enormous essay.

Hmmm, is there something fishy going on here or am I being paranoid?
