If you can actually select the bullets (as opposed to selecting the entire
column of bullets when you click on one in recent versions of Word), then
you can use Alt+X to get the Unicode character code (Word 2002 and 2003).
You can then search for ^Unnnn or ^unnnn (supposedly; I'm having difficulty
making either of these work).

Aha, it turns out that you have to enter the *decimal* value of the Unicode
character, which Word's Symbol dialog provides only as hex. sigh And
although Word's help quotes ^Unnnn, the capital U generates an error
message. Luckily, you can use the Windows calculator to convert hex values
to decimal.

Wicked cool! I didn't know I could do that. Its not really a solution for
deleting my thousands of bullets, but it is a neat little trick I didn't
know
before. Thank you.

I still would really benefit from knowing how to search out and destroy
these little beggers with the Find Replace option.

If the bulleted paragraphs have a hanging indent, you could use
column-select (Alt+drag) to select the bullets and delete.

When converting documents from WordPerfect to MSWord, bullet
characters
are
carried over. These characters are not associated with a bullet style
and
I
need to delete them. These bullet characters seem to be symbols, but I
can't
find and replace them. I have tried using the ^nnn and ^0nnn and ^unnn
seach
codes, but I am having no luck.
