Here is a recorded macro. I normally don't use Selection.Find:

Code:

Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'
'
  Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
  Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
  With Selection.Find
    .Text = "([A-D]: )([A-D].)"
    .Replacement.Text = "\2"
    .Forward = True
    .Wrap = wdFindContinue
    .Format = False
    .MatchCase = False
    .MatchWholeWord = False
    .MatchAllWordForms = False
    .MatchSoundsLike = False
    .MatchWildcards = True
  End With
  Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End Sub
