Default Format a long phone number list

I tried it but it says it made 0 changes. I am using Word 2000 if that helps.

Thank You,

Use Find and Replace. Assuming the numbers don't all begin 40220000 (which
would make things really simple), try the following.

Press Ctrl+H, and click the More button. Click to enable Use wildcards.

In Find what[0-9][0-9][0-9]),([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9])

Replace With:\1\2

This assumes that you don't have other number patterns that begin "###,###".

...
I have a list of phone numbers that look like this:
402,2000087
402,2000091
402,2000092
I would like to take the comma out to look like this:
4022000087
4022000091
4022000092
Is there a fast way to do this rather than having to go line by line? I
have about 5000 pages of numbers

Thank You
