Default End of cell character for searching and replacing in a table?

Klaus --

Very interesting. Worked like a charm. Two questions:

1) Any idea why you can't search for end of cell characters?

2) Why does ^&% work?

Thanks for the solution,

pjs

Hi pjs,

The bad news: You can't search for the end.of-cell-marker.

The good news: You probably don't need to.

Select the table or column in which you want to replace.
Search for the paragraph style that's applied (... other formatting might
work as well), leaving "Find what" empty, and put ^&% in "Replace with".

Regards,
Klaus

I have a table full of numbers (22.3 88.5 45.7 ...)

I'd like to add a % sign at the end of each (22.3% 88.5% 45.7% ...)

If this were text, I know I could replace ^t with %^t. But I can't find
the
caret or other code for the cell end. I tried ^n, which is the column
break,
but no luck. I know I could also convert the table to text, do the ^t
replace
above, and convert back to a table, but I thought I'd see if there's a
within-table search I could learn.

Thanks,

pjs
