Finding a paragraph with an asterisk (or, preferably, any other character - asterisks are harder to work with) isn't at all hard but that's not the same as restricting Find operations to table content, which is what NobodysPerfect is after. The problem with tables, though, is that you can't do any Find that involves a final paragraph break that also works with end-of-cell markers - or even with end-of-cell markers.
