Alternative approaches:

1) if many of your notes are only one line, try using alt-mouse click and
drag, which allows you to select a column of text that is in lines. Then
you should be able to select a bunch of numbers at once, as well as the
annoying space that follows them. Since you cut the endnotes into a
separate file anyhow, it's likely worth reformatting the file temporarily to
get most of the notes to be one line. (You didn't state your version--not
sure whether alt-select was new around Word 2002)

2) redo the original paste into a separate file:
Edit | Paste Special | Styled Text eliminates the numbers here, while
keeping the titles italicized. It seems to convert the number into a space,
plus bring the space between the number and the note text, so that each line
begins with two spaces. However, a regular Find and Replace will eliminate
those spaces.

I just tried that, on my de-linked endnotes, and nothing changes
