![]() I'm wanting to edit a 70 page Word document. It has time on every-other-line. Format for the time is **:** like 11:30.. What I'd like to do is to remove the time line completely and the resulting white space. I can do a search for the colon but cannot do a replace with del del or backspaces. Then I'd like to remove the white spaces left by the removed time. |

Try the following using Wild Cards in a replace with a COPY of your document. Find:[0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9]^13
After a Replace, Ctrl+Z will restore things. You may want a space in the replace-with box. If that leaves out ones with single digits in the time, then run it again without the first [0-9] See Finding and replacing characters using wildcards. |

I'll try the above and report back.

I've never used wildcards in text cut/paste. I really appreciate your help. It has saved me a lot of work. |

You are welcome.
There are others here who are far more proficient than am I when using WildCards. |
