How Can I? is on a distinguished road
Default Find & Replace Variables (pg #'s) from pasted PDF

I found an old PDF that I needed to update. So I copied and pasted it into my MS Word (2007). But, the problem is that when I pasted it, it pasted all 185 footers as well.

PROBLEM: I want to delete ALL 185 FOOTERS. -
Normally I would just click Find and Replace, enter all the data and Im done. But this time, there is a VARIABLE (the page number) and then after it there is more text, and finally the date.


So, How can I ?... Find and Replace what use to be on two separate lines in my MS Word Doc Footers BEFORE I made it into a PDF, of which I dont have the original any longer, so I copied the PDF and pasted it back into MS Word but ... (somewhere along the line, I think this is becoming a run on sentence...)

www.SampleWebSite.com Copyright © Its Mine!, 2007 Page 11 of 185
Version Release Date:12/2/12

NOTE 1: The footer contained two lines, as indicated above.
NOTE 2: Each page has a different page number; I tried to use the "*" and the "?" marks as the wild card, but evidently, MS Word does not understand them.as indicated below:
www.SampleWebSite.com Copyright © Its Mine!, 2007 Page ?? of 185Version Release Date:12/2/12”, and,
www.SampleWebSite.com Copyright © Its Mine!, 2007 Page *of 185Version Release Date:12/2/12”,


So, What is/are the best way(s) to accomplish this, without my having to address this 185 times? Is there a smart way to do it?
Thanks!
