How to delete an empty row that exists in a table or a frame?

[Dor1]

In LibreOffice Writer v4.2.7.2: How do I delete an empty row that exists in a table or a frame?

I created a table in a frame. But an empty line appears above & below the table:

My attempts to delete those empty lines (non worked):

1. Using the Del key - in various ways
2. Using the Find & Replace dialog and a regexp pattern, as suggested here.
   The regexp patterns which I had tried are:

• ^$ which worked only for the empty lines which were outside the frame.
• ^[\r\n]$ which simply didn’t work at all.
• ^\W+$ also didn’t work.

Hi

• Select the whole table
• Table > Convert > Table to text, Ok to close the dialog (table replaced with tabulated text)
• Delete the empty line (last paragraph) with Backspace
• Select the whole tabulated text
• Table > Convert > Text to Table, Ok to close the dialog
