Any chance one of you would know how to find the beginning of a story? Thanks for your great site. Cheers, John Hi,

The search finds the carriage return before the table and removes it, which can mess up the spacing between the last line of text and the table.

This is very important if you have text in a table. The extra paragraph makes the whole box longer. And you can't replace ^p^p with ^p in some instances because the hash symbol is at the end, causing its own paragraph without being a paragraph symbol. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
