Default delete sewctions of text using find and replace

Hi,
I need to delete certain sections of text in a word doc. and replace
it with ','
for example:
the cat sat on the mat
would need to become:
the,mat
i have 4000 lines of this and do not want to have to manually delete
all the uneccessary text.

Any pointers?


CTRL-H will bring up the Replace dialog box. PUt what you have in the top
line, what you wnat it to be inthe second box, try a couple of replaces and
if it works toyour liking, hit Replace All.
