How can I remove all returns at the end of text. I have a big long text that I copied/pasted to Pages and every lines are broken by a "Return/enter".
That would take me forever to delete them one by one.
I tried the Find and replace, but can't put a "return" in the search bar. I tried to copy paste the "return" after applying the; show invisible, but it doesn't work neither. It thinks that it is a space.

The problem with Find/Replace in Pages is that even though you may select only the text that you want to alter, it will detect all of the paragraph marks that it finds in the entire document. So in your example, you will have to be exercise restraint.
Select just the content that you want to restrict your find/replace too. From the Edit menu : Find… open the Find tool. On its gear selector, choose Find & Replace. In the Find field, type \n and leave the Replace field empty. it will then light up all paragraph marks (newlines) in the document. Do not click Replace All. Instead, click the Replace button once, then the > button, and repeat this sequence until you have removed just the paragraph marks that you intend. Then click the red close button it the Find & Replace panel to dismiss it.
