Default Search & Replace

Johann.
It was Macropod that suggested the ^10, and as you say this does not work
this [space]^10. I am still hoping for a solution.
What can work though if you are purely wanting to get rid of the superfluous
space before the cell end marker is to use the "old" trick of selecting the
text, align centre then align left (or left then centre). This will remove
all superfluous spaces, tabs, etc. at the end of paragraphs selected.
This works well, but obviously enusre that you select the text only not the
whole table, else the table itself will be aligned. I tend to select by
column, say columns 1 and 2 out of a 3-column table, do the trick, the n
select column 3 on its own, do the trick.
Not the best but does work well.
Lets see if anyone else can help with the Replace on [space] Cell End Marker.
Hope this helps

Hi Graham,
Apologies; I expressed myself incorrectly. I am not referring to paragraph
breaks (¶) in table cell, but to the actual cell marker (¤).
I have several documents that contain tables with a space or spaces between
the last character and the cell marker that I need to remove (quite laborious
in a 100-page document riddled with tables).
The ^10 suggested by DeanH does not do it either. I have tried a number of
permutations, and frankly, some weird things happen.

Paragraph breaks are paragraph breaks wherever they are in the document.
What *exactly* are you trying to do?

In Search & Replace (Find & Replace) where paragraph signs are involved,
one
would use ^p in normal text or ^13 when using wild cards.
What are the equivalent codes when using Search & Replace in tables?
