Remove unusual text/Keep text that has A-Z

I download a file that contains text as you see below. I need to remove the
.... The problem is that the "." is not really a "." its "..." as one. So if
you replace or subsitute all "." it will not replace that. You can see what
I mean if you backspace once it will delete all "...". Its as if its one
character. Is there a way to remove this unusual character, like maybe just
keep all letters?

Char(133) is ... so try entering 0133 with the Alt key pressed in the Find
What of the Replace dialog box using the number keypad not the keys at the
top of the keyboard.
