If you indeed just need to remove all odd-numbered lines of the text, you could do this: o Paste the material into column A of a spreadsheet, starting at A1 - so that each line occupies one cell. o In cell B1 (say), enter =OFFSET(A$1,ROW()*2-1,0) o Fill down column B. I think this works whether your original "lines" are separated by line breaks or are actually separate paragraphs. You can copy and paste the material in column B back into a text document for further formatting as required, of course. I trust this helps.

Click Replace all and BAM, those lines are gone almost before you clicked…. If that's too scary, first click Search all to see if the right stuff was found. I tested this with the data in your post and every line is ended with a space and a new line (not a paragraph break). If the space isn't there in the real data, just remove it from the search field: [0-9:]+\n If the real data have paragraph breaks instead of newline characters, this won't work. Also note that this would also delete lines that ends with a number or colon followed by a space. Tell me if that's a problem and we'll try to work something out.
