Hi,

Do the following.
1. Press Ctrl+F to open Find and Replace.
2. In "Find What", type <[! ]-*>
3. Click "More".
4. Select the "Use wildcards" check box.
5. Click "Find Next".

Important: When you are finished using wildcards, clear the "Use wildcards"
check box and perform another search to disable wildcards.
 
Hi,

Sorry, my previous instructions will only find hyphenated words like e-mail,
in which the first part consists of only one letter.

The following steps will do much better.

1. Press Ctrl+F to open Find and Replace.
2. In "Find What", type <[A-Za-z]{1,}-*>
3. Click "More".
4. Select the "Use wildcards" check box.
5. Click "Find Next".

Important: When you are finished using wildcards, clear the "Use wildcards"
check box and perform another search to disable wildcards.
