SQL Management Studio 2012 - replacing carriage returns

I'm running into the issue with a SQL user where data copied from the SQL Management Studio 2012 query results tab and then pasted into Excel results in a bunch of carriage return lines and messes up the paste in Excel.

The "Comments" column in particular has this problem with carriage returns.

Where should the statement in SQL go to get rid of the carriage returns to result in a single-line of text paste to Excel when copied from SQL Management Studio query Results tab?

select 
AssetID,
Category,
EnteredBy,
REPLACE(Text,'"',' ') As Comment,
REPLACE(text, CHAR(13) + CHAR(10), ', '),

Number As CommentNumber,
Max(Date) As CommentDate,
de.NAME_SLS_SPCLST,
de.NAME_SLS_SPCLST_MGR,
de.NAME_RPR_SPCLST,
de.STGY_VAL,
DE.DII,
DE.FLAG_CMPLX_TTL_ACTIVE,
DE.DT_FST_STR_APPRD
--COUNT(Text) As DubCheckByCommentDate
From client.hsc.Comments as C
Left Join
ckuebt.dbo.ImportData_LastImport de
--client.dbo.Inventory de

ON
c.AssetID = de.ID_AST
Where 
--Importid = 8224 AND
Category like 'Iam%'
AND
c.Date = 
       (Select 
              MAX(Date)
       From client.hsc.Comments
       Where Category like 'Iam%'
                     and 
                AssetID = c.AssetID
       Group By AssetID
       )

              --and
              --AssetID = 662438
              and
              Number = (Select
MAX(Number)from client.hsc.Comments
                     where Category like 'Iam%'
                     
                     and AssetID = c.AssetID
                     group by AssetID
