I thought this would be super easy-peasy. But man I am stuck.

I have a Word table - that has formatted text (bold, italic, indents, bullets, and carriage returns inside the cell) that I need to preserve.

I'd like to be able to put that inside a spreadsheet.

But when I copy-and-paste, it treats each carriage return as a cell break.
I can't globally replace carriage returns with soft return/line breaks, becuase that will screw up the bullets and indents.
I can't save as TXT because, well, that just screws it all up.

I swear I've done this before.

Argh.
