The Find and Replace dialog box should be able to find paragraph marks
in a table cell, if there are any. Note that a cell which contains
only one paragraph doesn't have a paragraph mark; it only has the
end-of-cell marker. It is usually a good idea to display nonprinting
characters for this kind of trouble-shooting. Press the ¶ button on
the Standard toolbar, and see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/NonPrintChars.htm.
If you find that cells have line breaks in them, you can use Find and
Replace to delete the breaks. Just specify ^l in the "Find what" box
and leave the "Replace with" box empty.
Another possible cause for unwanted vertical spacing in table cells
could be cell margins: Choose Table | Table Properties. In the dialog
box, click the Table tab. Click Options and see what margins are
specified. Repeat the procedure for the Cell tab.
Also, you may want to check if some Spacing Before or After has
been added to text. Look at the Indents and Spacing tab of
Format | Paragraph.
