After copying a distribution list from an email, I have a list of email
addresses in the form of including the quotes around
Sam and the around the email address. I would like to end up with a list
of just the email addresses, e.g. . I can do this in Excel,
but would like to learn how to do it in Word.

The key to this is using wildcard find/replace
(http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm).

This find expression:

*\([! ]@)(\@)(*)\*^13

and this replace expression:

\1\2\3^p

should do the job.
