Hi Paul, One way to make sure you have it selected is to start selecting one character before and then one character after (or even two if voiceover's output isn't clear as to what has been selected). Then when you paste this into the find field, just erase the leading and trailing character to leave the return and new line. Also I think you can type a new line in the replace field by holding down option and pressing the "newline". Greg
