Code to remove 'Enter' Symbols

[Mark]

I recieve Text files that come from a HTML form and they are delimited by
comma. One of the fields allows people to paste in account information that
has a set format and adds in TABs and Line breaks or the symbols you get get
when you hit enter.

I need to scrub this out of file. Is there any little script that I can run
in Word that would remove these?

THanks!
Mark
