Not with word (I'm addicted to UNIX), but if you don't mind to install some little program to do it, here is a way to do it:
1. Install the Unix utils for Windows from:
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/
2. Copy your file to C:\
3. After installing the utilities, open a command line
4. Go to the root directory with
> cd \
C:\>
4. What you are asking for (removing those text from yourfile.rtf and write result.rtf) is done the following way:
c:\> sed "s/([0-9][0-9]* of [0-9][0-9]*)//g" yourfile.rtf > result.rtf
Hope that works for you :-).
Alternative: install winvi from
http://www.winvi.de/en/download.html and open your file, then write ":%s/([0-9][0-9]* of [0-9][0-9]*)//g" without the quotes and ENTER, it will delete the offending parts of your file.
NOTE: if it doeesn't work, it will surely be because of the parentheses; try again but with:
c:> sed "s/.[0-9][0-9]* of [0-9][0-9]*.//g" file.rtf > result.rtf
Hope that works for you ;-).
