You can do this with wildcards. With the "Use wildcards" box checked, search
for this: ([0-9])( ) and replace with this: \1 Note that this will replace every space after every number, not just within groups of numbers. If the number groups are consistent, you can set up a wildcard search that will search for the groups and replace them without spaces. In the example you gave, search for: ([0-9]{2})( )([0-9]{2})( )([0-9]{3}) and replace with: \1\3\5 For more on using wildcards, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/UsingWildcards.htm -- Suzanne S.

That's a bit complex, Suzanne.
Find ([0-9]) ([0-9]) Replace with \1\2 Check Use Wildcards Hit Replace All Or if there might be multiple spaces, use Find: ([0-9]) {1,}([0-9]) -- Enjoy, Tony "Suzanne S.

I'm not very strong on wildcards, I'm afraid.

No probs! They drive me wild sometimes - they always seem to stop just short
