1. Click the top left corner of the table — the position where the cursor changes to a suspiciously Word-alike right-bottom pointing fat arrow. The entire table gets selected.

2. Call up Find & Change. You need a fancy-pansy GREP search here so select that tab.

3. Put this into the Find What box: r+$ (that's “Backslash r for Return, a Plus for any amount, once or more, At End of Cell/Story/Footnote — obviously, only Cell gets used jere)

4. Put a single space in the Change To box.

5. Make sure the scope is set to “Selection”. Since CS3, ID tries to guess what you want it to be but often gets it wrong :-P

6. Click the Change All button.

7. Sit back and enjoy the feeling of a job well done.
