I'm cleaning up someone else's work, and one of the things he left me is a huge table with garbage spaces and garbage paragraph marks at the end of the text in about half of the cells. (Yes, I know they don't really do any harm, but I want to clean them up.) So I want to know if there's a way to indicate the end of the table cell in a find/replace. I tried finding column breaks; it was a long shot, and failed as expected. Since there's a symbol visible on the screen for this, one would think there ought to be a way to use it in a find. (Not "it" the symbol exactly; y'know what I'm saying.)

Sadly, no. In any event, you don't really need to know they're at the end of a table cell if you're happy to leave just a single paragraph break there. In that case, you could fix the lot with two wildcard Find/Replace operations, where:
Find = [ ]@^13
Replace = ^p
Find = [^13]{2,}
Replace = ^p
