Word 2007 - Wilcard Expression

qubie · #1 10-03-2017, 11:56 AM

Greetings,

I have looked high and low, and I am not sure that such a thing exists, but here is a synopsis of my problem, followed by my question.

I am working with a large number of files converted from .pdf that share a common expression that occurs near then end of each file -- "PASSED:"

This word is followed by gibberish that concludes each file; e.g. --

"A~p~ri~l~13~•~20~1~7~~~~* APPROVED this ____ ___ 2017 l ltb day of _v{-p_r_i..._I I ".

These are random characters that are not consistent between files. In any case, they are not not needed for my project.

I would like to apply a macro that gets rid of the keyword "PASSED:" as well as everything that follows that keyword to the end of the file.

My question is this: What is the Word wildcard expression or representation for the end of a file? Does such an expression or representation even exist?

Thanks and regards,

Q.
