Thank you very much. That works like a charm on the test data that I have.
This will certainly save me a lot of work.

You can use:
\: [+0-9A-z&./,)({}; €“_-]{1,}
in the Find field, turn "use Wildcards" on under the More button.
This will find all text after a ": " upto a Paragraph Mark. So if you have
separate paragraphes in the cell, the remaining text will not be found.
The
code for Paragraph Mark cannot be used when in Wildcards mode. Also if it
was
you would find the whole document after the first occurance of ": " ;-)

Hope this helps

Any help would be appreciated.
