Need help editing a word document!

You could do this with just two wildcard Find/Replace operations:
Find = ^12
Replace = (nothing)
Find = [^13]{3,}

Replace = ^p^p

Sorry, but I have no idea what that means. By "find" do you mean Ctrl+F?

I found "find/replace" and I can enter the Find=12, Replace = (nothing), but then how do I enter the second set of wildcard Find/Replace?

Should I highlight the entire document then do the first wildcard, then the second?
