How can I change a character to a line break in indesign? I am importing a csv file to data merge, but if i use line breaks in the csv they mess up my import, so I am using a character to indictae the line breaks. I then want to find and replace the character which is a / with a return (line break) in indesign.

Presumably you are using a character, or combination of characters, that does not occur anywhere else except whre you want your line break.

You can use a simple Text Find/Change query for this. Find the character[s] and change to the line break (choose it from the drop-down list).
