Hi there.  Just got Endnote 2 Plus for Windows and it's working great, 
except for one little thing.

In order to import a database from another format via tab-delimited 
format, I had to temporarily replace the carriage returns in my notes 
field with a special sequence (since carriage returns separate individual 
records and can't be used within a field in tab-delimited format).  After 
successfully importing the database, I would now like to do a 
find/replace on the special sequence, translating them back into carriage 
returns.  According to the EndNote manual, I should be able to do this 
with the Change Text command, using Ctrl-Enter to enter a carriage return 
(p.101).  Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work -- Ctrl-Enter appears 
to have no effect at all (i.e. no character appears in the "change to" 
field to indicate a carriage return and, if I proceed with the "change 
text" command, the found text is either deleted (if I only hit 
ctrl-enter) or repalced with whatever other text I entered but no 
carriage return).  Am I missing something or is this a bug?

Thanks!
Noah
