Using Word 2003. I have a 5 page document where the characters ## are
repeated many times and I would like to delete them. I tried using Auto
Correct with the Replace feature but am probably not doing it right. I
select the entire document and then type ## in the Replace field and leave
the With field blank. Apparently this is not the right procedure. What
should I do?

Solved my problem by using Find to highlight the characters and then hitting
Delete. Sorry for earlier posting.

Stan,

Using the "Edit" menu. Click on Replace. Type ## in find what, leave
replace with blank. Press replace all.
