OK, I'm not trying to be dense, but would appreciate a specific example. I use MS Word. Suppose that each page has a header with incremental page numbers and author's name. for example:

1 John Smith
2 John Smith
3 John Smith

and so forth...

I don't really know how to create the expression I need. I can certainly replace all the John Smith(s). But can't think of an efficient way to remove the incremental page numbers, even with wildcards. I can't seem to figure out how to write the required expression.
