1) In Word dpress the Ctrl+H button
2) In "Find what" cut-n-past the "[0-9]{1,5} John Smith" remove the quote(")
3) Check "Use Wildcards". If you don't see this option the option depress the <<more> button
4) Leave "Replace With:" blank.
5) Depress the <Replace All>

John gave you "True Regular" expression syntax. MSWord has a muddled up version that uses some RegEx and makes up their own. Another problem is that you where advised to use "*" Which means it "may" exist. You should have used "?" of course with MSWord it's "@" if you select the "Wildcards" option
