You could do this with a wildcard Find/Replace, where:
Find = [\{]{1,}[!\}]@[\}]{1,}
Replace = nothing.
Depending on your regional settings, you may need to change the two {1,} strings to {1;}.

Hello, Paul, and thank you. I have tried both with comma and semi-colon. Each returns a pop-up saying, "We [sic] couldn't find what you were looking for." (So nice to know that there's a whole team at my disposal in 2013.)

I am attaching my trial doc, just created for the test. What is my error?
