Sure it can. You need to learn how to use regular expressions. On the search and replace dialog, check the "regex" box. Then, if your page numbers are of the form, say:

[Pg nnn]

then enter a search string of

\[Pg [0-9]*\]

and leave the replacement string empty.

Do a "replace all", and all your page numbers will be disappeared.
