  • Okay, I'm probably way out on this but it really looks like a find-and-replace with wildcards would do it (Word can replace 'everything between this character and that character' with a space, or nothing). If you had a galley of the text with all formatting there would be common ranges of characters that you could use to identify the sections you want to clean out.

    ::edit:: as suggested up there!

  • This is essentially what I'm doing (removing any instance of "HYPERLINK" when using the 'field code' view in Word breaks the code and the notes are gone when pasted again). But it's also what I want to avoid because it makes a mundane, but doable, process into something much more time consuming by adding a third app and few more key combo steps.

    Stupid computers.

  • Personally I'd be tempted to post the things into Excel and then remove the characters/sections you don't want formulaically or using a macro all in one go at the end of the exercise (but I am an accountant so Excel is the solution to most problems).
