I'm looking to do the following in excel: I have a cell that has html bullets like this:

<li>bullet 1</li>
<li>bullet 2</li>
<li>bullet 3</li>

etc.

I want to change the first bullet to a paragraph, so that it now displays:

<p>bullet 1</p>
<ul><li>bullet 2</li>
<li>bullet 3</li>
etc. </ul>

Is there any way to do this?
