Hello from Steved

The below macro is designed to run manually meaning to do a whole document i
push the macro button each time, is there something that can be added or
changed
to do the whole document please. I mean push the macro button and it
completes the total Document.

Sub LeftMargin()
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = "^$:"
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdLine
Selection.Extend
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = "^$:"
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute
Selection.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1
Selection.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=8
Selection.TypeText Text:=" "
End Sub

What is the nature of the document and what is it that you are trying to do
with this macro?
Incidentally macro questions are best posted to one of the Word vba groups.

Hello Graham from Steved

I've 2 lines off information

The 1st line contains 1st: 2nd: all the way to 24th.

Thats is what is been deleted ( 1st: 2nd: all the way to 24th.)

The second line needs the delete button to be pushed 8 times to line up with
the line above. ( the line Ive just done the deleting )

Thankyou.

Something seems to have got lost in the translation as I am even more
confused now than before. Can you paste a sample of the text into your
message and let us know what you want to do with that text. Forget the macro
for now. What exactly are you trying to do?

This appears to be a relatively straightforward wildcard search and replace
of
[0-9]{1,}[dhstr]{2}:[ ]@
with nothing. - http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm

Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = "[0-9]{1,}[dhstr]{2}:[ ]@"
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchWildcards = True
End With
Selection.Find.Execute replace:=wdReplaceAll
