How do I Remove A Specific Amount of Characters from Lines in a Document?

But, as my reply showed, you don't need a macro...

Without seeing your recorded macro, I can confidently say it wouldn't be as efficient as:

Code:

Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With ActiveDocument.Range
  With .Find
    .ClearFormatting
    .Replacement.ClearFormatting
    .Text = "^#^#^#^#^w-^w"
    .Replacement.Text = ""
    .Forward = True
    .Wrap = wdFindContinue
    .Format = False
    .MatchWildcards = False
    .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
  End With
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
