table of authorities: removing marks

[marianna]

I'm wondering if there's a simple way to delete all markings for a table of
authorities. I know how to delete individual entries ("To delete a table of
authorities entry, select the entire table of authorities entry field,
including the braces {}, and then press DELETE"); what I'm looking for is a
way to delete them all en masse, without having to scroll through the entire
document. I assume there is such a method, but I don't see it in the help
menu.

Try this on a COPY of the document.

Find the fields, and replace them with nothing. To find a field, first make
sure field codes are visible. Then search for ^19 TA.

Yes! This is perfect, perfect, perfect. Saved me a lot of time, and resulted
in an accurate TOA the first time through. Massive thanks for this response!

Glad to help.

This works with most types of fields‹^19 signifies searching for a field,
then the field name (TA in this case) says *which* fields to Find. Very
handy.
