Can I do this with find and replace in > text edit? Yes. Just select such a pair in the text, copy to the clipboard, then paste into the Find field and replace with a standard carriage return. You'll need to do a Return and clipboard it, too, to get it into the Replace field. Do Replace all and you should be fine. Alternatively, you could replace them all with spaces, and then replace all double spaces with carriage returns.
