Wildcard - Find and Replace

[flypfish]

I am using word 2003. I am trying to use the wildcard command within word.

I am trying to delete any character or digit before an "@" symbol in the
word document.

Is there any way to do this easily with wildcards?

I am having little to no luck in this quest.
As you can see, I am trying to do a global delete of any text or digit in
front of the"@" symbol so that I can isolate the remaining domain names to
add a filter for maintaining spam.


Here are some examples below:

Please Help!

You should find everything you need to know here:

But for future questions you'd be better off posting to one of the PC Word
groups - this one's for Mac Word

I think the wildcard (pseudo-regexp) format is the same on both systems.

I think the OP wants something like
click on UseWildcards

Find Box: ?@

Replace Box: @

Or if he really meant "delete all text before the "@" then it's a bit
trickier, because Word doesn't accept the "^p" code for a paragraph
return while in wildcard mode. This is clunky, but for lack of a
better way:
First replace all paragraph marks with something like ".para." (need
to have wildcards turned off)

then turn wild cards on
Then Find Box: .para.*@
ReplaceBox: .para.@

then turn wildcards off again.
then replace all .para. with ^p


ugly but should work.
