I thought this would be easy (I am only an occasional Word user) and perhaps I am missing the obvious. I have inherited a very long document with hundreds of lines containing the string: [xxxx]. The x is a digit 0-9 and the brackets are square. With the [ ] being special characters maybe that is my problem? I'm just unable to work out how to search the document for all instances of [xxxx] and just remove them?

How do I remove all the instances of [xxxx] in the document?

Any help would be much appreciated less I spend several hours removing all the [xxxx] manually!!!!
