I am trying to replace email addresses with domains ie mail.com There is no automatic way to replace the many user IDs that exist in front of the @ character. I would choose Replace from the Edit drop down menu. The replace @ with several spaces. This could make it easier to manually delete the user names. |

If you have the email addresses in a column of data, it would be easier to
take it into Excel (as a text file) and parse the email addresses using the Data - Text to Columns menu. You could then save it back as a text file and reopen with Word.

That works for me, regardless of whether the character is in a hyperlink or in plain text.

And if you'd want to delete the name preceeding the domain (up to and including
the @), you might be able to do that with a wildcard replacement. If the email addys are all in the "Hyperlink" character style, you should be able to search for that style and "*\@(?)" in "Find what", and replace with \1. *\@ matches everything up to and including the @, and ? the first character in the domain name. \1 re-inserts that character.
