I need to do a series basic search-and-replaces on a large table. One of the searches includes looking at the last characters in a line. If this were a regular non-table list, I’d search string^p and be done with it. But that doesn’t work inside a table. I tried searching the net for table line break, etc., but nothing seems to apply. Can someone help me out–what’s it called and how do I search it? Thanks~ (ETA: in other cases I’ve found manual workarounds (e.g. copying out of a table and re-pasting). In this case that will be extremely tedious–there are many merged cells that prevent copying/pasting en masse.) ---

It’s called the end of cell marker and it consists of an ASCII 13 and ASCII 7. I think you’re going to have to use a macro to find them and select/replace the characters you’re looking for.
