Default Split table cell into multiple rows based on a delimiter

I have a table where I want to select a cell and split it into multiple rows based on a delimiter (e.g. a paragraph mark).

What is the best way to achieve this with the minimum effort?

I use Word 2007.

I found one way of getting it done, but it loses certain formatting which has to be redone, e.g. Paragraph indenting.
If I copy the table to Excel it will automatically put the lines ending in a paragraph mark in separate rows. I then copy the Excel table back to Word and then reformat it. I would however prefer an automated way since my documents contain many (hundreds) such tables.
