I ran a test trying to replace a name with another name (as if there were a typo) in the text/comments field of a census detail and this worked perfectly. However, let's say I was working with a family of ten children and I overlooked one of them, and now I want to add her to every record where I used the clipboard to add that source with detail. Is that possible? I tried several ways of creating a line break after adding an existing name in the replace field to add the omitted name, but that doesn't seem to work.
