Hello, You can use the standard search and replace with "Regular Expressions" enabled.
Open the Find and Replace panel, select "Regular expressions" at the bottom. Then seach for your "consistent text" and replace with \n"consistent text" (without the quotes). Do not forget to disable regular expression for future searches and replacements if you want to have the usual behaviour after that. You can look in the help to have more information with searching and replacing using regular expressions: look for "List of Regular Expressions". I hope this helps. Rémy.
