Hi Anne and Annie, Very ingenious Anne although there is an easier way that should work fine as well both in Pages and TextEdit.
Using your Option key along with the return key in the first field will yield the same result. That is: • Open your find dialog. • Navigate to the Find What field. • Press the option key and return key simultaneously. • Follow Anne's wonderful instructions for the rest and you're set. This method will also work for other invisible characters such as the tab key. HTH. Later...
