If the above assumptions are right, building on from Paul's code try...

Code:

Sub Demo()
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  With ActiveDocument.Range
    With .Find
      .ClearFormatting
      .Replacement.ClearFormatting
      .Text = "([0-9:]{5})"
      .Replacement.Text = " "
      .Forward = True
      .Format = False
      .Wrap = wdFindContinue
      .MatchWildcards = True
      .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
      .Text = "^l"   'or ^13
      .Replacement.Text = ""
      .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
    End With
  End With
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

when i run this code it takes away the numbers but does not place the line to the one above and make a complete sentence

Its like this

I sing sit home all morning really but

then you stepped up I'm glad but there's

not enough room for both of us this

morning so I'm gonna pass um we got a

and wish to have this:
