Default Find and replace

1. Press Alt+F9 to reveal field codes. Each email address will look like
this: { HYPERLINK " }.

2. Ctrl+H to open the Replace dialog.

3. In the "Find what" box, type: ^19 HYPERLINK "mailto:

4. Leave the "Replace with" box empty.

5. Replace All.

Don't forget to press Alt+F9 to toggle field code display back or you'll get
unexpected results the next time you open a document containing fields.

I have a list of names and email addresses, for example:

Bill Smith

I want to delete the email addresses, leaving just the list of names.
Tried using * in Find (leaving Replace blank), but that deletes
everything. Must be missing something?

Checked out

still not sure of the solution...
