End-of-Table-Column Character
I very frequently take advantage of the ^p end-of-sentence/paragraph special
character in Search&Replace. It would be handy to be able to do this in a table coolumn as well, but the character denoting the end of the column's text is not ^p, and doesn't seem to be any of the availabe end point special characters (^l, etc). Is there such a character that could be referenced? I'm using Word 2003, but I don't think the F&R features have changed much before or since (but that's a different thread). |

End-of-Table-Column Character
I think it might be what used to be called "currency symbol," one of
the more useless characters in the old ASCII set (it got replaced by the euro sign in fonts made before Unicode caught on). But there isn't a special character for it in Find/Replace.

End-of-Table-Column Character
Although the "universal monetary symbol" is used to represent the
end-of-cell and end-of-row markers, searching for it will not find them, nor is there any special code for searching for these characters. I'm not sure why MS has not provided this ability, as it would certainly be very useful. I can only assume there is some arcane reason that only coders understand. -- Suzanne S.
