   One suggestion; instead of deleting the original selected row, 
replace it's topic with the first paragraph and then only create new 
rows for paragraphs 2..N.  The advantage to this is that if the 
original row had values in non-topic columns, they won't get lost.

   Another arguable position would be to copy the non-topic cells to the 
newly created rows... which is correct is largely a matter of taste and 
the operation in question (might even differ on a column by column 
basis! :)
