Find and replace text with enter or return symbol

I have a list of contact information in a Word document. I want to replace the words "View full profile" with the words "View full profile" plus 3 enter symbols.  Using find and replace, how do I do this.  "View full Profile" is the last sentence after each contact.  When I copied this info into Word, all the contacts run together with no break.  I want to put breaks after "View full profile," so another program can utilize the contacts.  Thanks.

I am using Office 2003 with Windows 7

    If you have wildcards turned off search for "View full profile^p^p^p"

    If wildcards are turned on, a paragraph mark is ^013

    In the Edit>Replace dialog, insert

    View full profile

    in the Find what control and in the Replace with control, insert

    View full profile^p^p^p

    I am not sure why you would want the three carriage returns (i.e. two empty paragraphs between each contact.  I would think that one ^p should be sufficient.
