Delete lines with just a number on them - use macro or find & replace?
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. |
