1. Open the "Find and Replace" dialog (e.g. with Ctrl+H).
2. Check the "Regular Expressions" checkbox in the lower part of the
dialog
3. Enter a regular expression which will match numbers: [0-9]+ (with
the plus sign!).
4. Enter the replacement text you want (you can use $1 in the
replacement string to get the number that was matched)
5. Press "Find Next" and then possibly "Replace" or "Replace All" as
appropriate
What does the regexp mean? It means "One or more occurrences of a
character from the sequence 0-9". For more about regular expressions,
see for example: https://www.sitepoint.com/learn-regex/
Hope that helped,
Eyal

How do I find and replace all numbers in Writer?
What I'm trying to do is get rid of the numbers in a list.
I have NO idea what they're talking about "regular expressions" and
can't figure out a wild card for numbers.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Peter
