Getting rid of symbols---how?

[codger1936]

To help someone I copied information from Traveline but did not want to pass it on with the many symbols (see attachment). Deleting said symbols one by one is arduous and I am wondering if there is an easy way todo that in Word (and maybe also in Excel).

Can anyone suggest how? Please!

If you paste the content into your document as plain text ('keep text only' - via paste special), you'll get none of the extraneous content. If you want the bold, italics, etc. though, you'll have to re-apply it afterwards.
