I have many documents that I need to redact/remove text that lies
between [ ] brackets and replace it the text with XX. Is there a way
to do this?
EX:
blah blah blah blah blah [blah blah blah] blah blah blah.
would be replaced with -
blah blah blah blah blah [XX] blah blah blah.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Mike
See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/UsingWildcards.htm.
The Find expression should be
(\[)(*)(\])
The Replace expression should be
\1XX\3
Don't forget to click More and check the "Use wildcards" box. Then click
Replace All.
