How to find (to select) and replace All Symbols (in one time)?

[JB]

In Find and Replace, you can search symbols separately using Special
Characters, but how do you find and select All of them at once?

Does anyone know a macro or a wildcard to do this?

Please help

 

[JT]

What are you trying to replace them with? If you are just trying to
eliminate them, once you have placed the symbol in the FIND WHAT field, just
make sure there is absolutely nothing in the REPLACE WITH field and then
click on REPLACE All. If you want to replace them with something else, put
that symbol/word/phrase, etc. in the REPLACE WITH field (if it is another
symbol, you will have to select again from the SPECIAL list) and then again
select REPLACE ALL.

You can use a wildcard search to find a range of characters - see
http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm but 'symbols' is an all
encompassing term and without knowing exactly which symbols from which font
it is impossible to be specific.

If the symbols are from different fonts then it is not possible to use this
method to select all of them. You can only use a macro to select and process
them individually.
