Re: Finding one character/word to delete entire paragraph

Is there a way in Word 2004 to do a universal Find and Replace for a
single character, say a colon (:) or even a single word, and then
delete the entire paragraph in which they appear?

It's easy to do this using a macro / applescript, but if you don't want
to go that route, use two searches: one to change every colon character
to a paragraph style called "deleteme" and another to delete every
"deleteme" styled paragraph. m.
