[mso] Macro in Excel to Remove CR/LF

I have data in an Excel file that comes in from another system.  It puts
returns in the header to wrap the header and single line headers have
two returns before the text so that they are vertically aligned bottom.
When I bring it in, the returns are there, which causes problems when I
sort, because it displays blank information in the sort window, since it
sees the first line, which blank.  
I tried to record a macro to remove them, but because I am editing the
cell when I do it, it replaces the text in each cell I run the macro on,
with the text in the cell where I recorded the macro.  I tried modifying
the macro after recording, but couldn't figure out how to tell it to
leave the current text, just remove those returns.

Would it be possible to write a macro that would go into each cell and
remove the returns, replace them with a single space and retain the
text?

Thanks,
