    In previous versions you could paste items and then use Find '; ’ and replace ‘\r’ and Notepad would replace every '; ’ with a carriage return to a new line. This no longer works…is there a workaround?

      It works.
      You have to be in Regular Expression mode for the Search mode; probably Extended mode also works.
      BUT… it isn’t a good idea to do what you’re doing, because doing exactly what you say will turn your Windows files into old Mac format files.
      You want to replace with \r\n.
