Word find & replace syntax help

[CrzyCanuck72]

Not sure if this is the right forum, mods feel free to move if it isn't.

I have a 50 page Word document - littered throughout the text is a series of footnote annotations that I want to find and delete. The annotations all have the format "[FNx]", where "x" is a linearly-increasing number (eg. [FN1], [FN2], [FN3]... [FN373]).

I have been playing around with advanced find & replace using wildcards, but I can't get the syntax to pick up the numbers when they get into double and triple digits - it treats each character individually.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You could try

\[FN?\]

And then to do the 2 digit

\[FN??\]

3 digit number

\[FN???\]

Seems to work on my small test. Obviously you will want to try this on a copy not the original.

That works! Thanks!
