Default delete sections of text using find and replace

Can't help when the details needed come in piece-meal. You need to state
the problem correctly but so far still looks like a Replace operation.
Can't help further; too few details.

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.
