Default delete sections of text using find and replace

How similar are the entries? and where did the email address come from? and
is this really what you want:

AACC - Association Algérienne de Lutte Contre la Corruption


with no space between the , and the start of the email address.

If you give full information, you will have a much better chance of getting
a useful response.

Hi,
Its a little more complex than that. here is an actual example:

? AACC - Association Algérienne de Lutte Contre la Corruption (Algeria)
Mailing address: Centre Familial de Ben Aknoun Alger 16 Algeria
Other address: Tel.: Fax: E-mail: Web page: http://www.transparency.org/
Category: 6. CSO Notes:

would need to become:

AACC - Association Algérienne de Lutte Contre la Corruption



any ideas? i know that i would need to do it twice to remove whatever is
before the mail address and that which comes after the address.

thanks.

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.
