I am trying to use Find/Replace to replace a Return Character (Soft Break or Line Feed) with a space. I can't get Find to allow me to enter a Return Character or copy a Return Character into the Find field. In MS Word I would use ^p to define a Return character. I have looked in Invisible Characters and Formatting Characters with no help.
In order to enter a Return Character into the Find Field of Find/Replace hold down the Option Key and press Return. Then in the Replace Field type what you want to replace the Return Character, I used a space character. I touched the All button and easy peasy all of the offending Return Characters were replaced.
It would be cool if that were documented somewhere so it could be found.

In Pages v7.3, the return and soft return characters are different as shown by show invisibles. To find either, enter the following in the Find field:
Enter \i in the "Find" field.
This works in TextEdit and Notes but not in Pages.
