Getting rid of trailing period in each line of a list

I have a list of 1500 email addresses that I have copied into a blank
Word document. Each address has a period at the end, which obviously
shouldn't be there. Is there a way to tell Word (through a macro or
find or something) to get rid of that period (and not the one(s) that
belong in an email address)?

I have tried recording a macro, which I got to work, but I have to run
it for each line (I'm not very well-versed in macros).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Are the e-mail addresses one per line? If so use Replace (CTRL+H) to replace
..^p
with
^p
If not, how are they arranged?

That's perfect - it worked! I was trying varieties of those other
codes, for some reason I didn't think to use the paragraph mark one (I
guess I had a mental block with the word "paragraph").

Thanks so much!
 
If they're not in separate paragraphs, then hopefully there's at least
one space after each one, and you can do the same kind of Find/Replace
by typing a space instead of the ^p in the Find and Replace boxes.
