I can't test it at this machine, but I'm 99% sure that shift-return is \n (as in a "new line") in the find dialog.

Of course, I forget the find char sequence for a Shift-Return, but I'm fairly sure it exists... (I always like to advocate the low-tech solution if at all possible.)

Gordon,
Structured documents give you much more control of FrameMaker XML output
than do unstructured documents. If you must stick with an unstructured
approach, I recommend globally replacing the forced return with a
recognizable string (e.g., "FORCED RETURN" or even the HTML "<br>" that you
probably eventually want) that will not otherwise occur in your documents
before generating the XML. You can use an FDK client or FrameScript to make
this change in a temporary copy of the documents. Your HTML generator can
look for this string and process it appropriately.
