Default How do I find and replace bullet symbols (not style)?

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.
