This is going to be hard to visualize without the actual mocked-up table
I'm working with, but I'll give it a shot. You may recognize this as
being quotes from "A Tale of Two Cities". I couldn't use the actual
text in this example, since it's work-related.

I've got a table that I need to do a find...replace. I'll try to show
it here. Each lined-off section is a cell in a table.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• It was the year of Our Lord one thousand seven hundred and
seventy-five.¤ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Spiritual revelations were conceded to England at that favoured
period, as at this.¤ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Wo-ho! said the coachman.¤ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• What o'clock do you make it, Joe?
• Ten minutes, good, past eleven.
• ¤ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• What do you say, Tom?¤ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• They both listened.¤ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• I say a horse at a canter coming up, Joe.
• I say a horse at a gallop, Tom.¤ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Is that the Dover mail?
•
• ¤ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Why do you want to know?¤ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• I want a passenger, if it is.¤ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you can see, each cell ends with a ¤ character when viewing the
formatting in the document, but I haven't been able to figure out a way
to include that as part of the find.

I can easily enough do a find...replace where "^l• ^l• " is replaced
with nothing when there are two "blank" lines (lines with just the • and
a space "• ". But, when there is only one blank line, as in cell 4, if
I try to replace "^l• ", cell 7 then turns into "• I say a horse at a
canter coming up, Joe.I say a horse at a gallop, Tom." with what should
be two lines but are now crammed together.

Here's what I would expect as the final result if I could figure out how
to replace things like I want.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• It was the year of Our Lord one thousand seven hundred and
seventy-five.¤ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Spiritual revelations were conceded to England at that favoured
period, as at this.¤ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Wo-ho! said the coachman.¤ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• What o'clock do you make it, Joe?
• Ten minutes, good, past eleven.¤ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• What do you say, Tom?¤ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• They both listened.¤ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• I say a horse at a canter coming up, Joe.
• I say a horse at a gallop, Tom.¤ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Is that the Dover mail?¤ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Why do you want to know?¤ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• I want a passenger, if it is.¤ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If anyone can help with this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
