I have a document with many tables. I am using grep to replace returns that stand alone on a line in a cell. Here is the criteria:
Grep
Find what: ^\r
Search: Document
I am replacing with nothing.
When I click on Change/Find, the routine works. It replaces the found return with nothing and successfully finds the next return, whether it is in a separate cell or a separate table. When I click on Change All, however, nothing happens.
I am currently using InDesign CS3 ver 5.0.4.
Is this something I am doing wrong or is it a bug of some kind?

This has been noticed before -- there are a couple of Find/Replaces (and if memory serves, they are all GREP replaces) where "Find" and "Change All" do something different. It's the same in CS4, and I don't think it has been "improved" in CS5.
Try this instead: search for
^\r+
and replace with nothing. That'll eat up all of the hard returns in one go.
