I have a document and many lines have just a number on them and I want to delete these numbers. They are not the same number, and there are numbers on lines with other text that I do not want to delete.




I tried using find and replace with wildcard elements to find the numbers, but one cannot use new paragraph codes with a wildcard search. I can't figure out how to find the numbers that are on a line by themselves and exclude numbers that are on lines with text.


If this is possible, please clue me in; many thanks!

Try a wildcard Find/Replace with:
Find = ^13[0-9]@^13
Replace = ^p
If the are consecutive paragraphs with just numbers in them, you might need to 'Replace All' a few times to get them all.

One can

It's the ^13 in macropod's post, that replaces ^p in wildcard mode.
