Remove text within parentheses in word
This worked for me:
- Start the Find and Replace dialog (Ctrl+H)
- Go to the Replace tab
- Click More
- Click Use wildcards
- Set "Find what" to
[(]*[)] - Click Replace All.
This might leave you with too many blanks around "(John)", and in that case either add the blank to the Find string, or replace later two blanks by one.
