I'm populating a table by moving paragraphs into each cell. But for the life of me, I can't work out how to delete the trailing return in each cell. It surely ought to be easy:

repeat with y from 1 to (Tend-Tstart)
 repeat with x from 1 to count of columns of myTable
  tell cell x of row y of myTable
   try
    delete text of it -- get rid of placeholder text, if present
   end try
   move text of paragraph Tstart of myStory to insertion point 1 of it
   delete character -1 of it
  end tell
 end repeat
end repeat

Everything works except for the deleting of the last character. I've tried delete character -1 of text of it, of character -1 of paragraph 1 of it,
