Microsoft has an article on it here

Objective: Do a find and replace. You can automatically replace text — for example, you can replace ":" with ""

  1. On the Edit menu, click Replace.

  2. In the Find what box, enter the text that you want to search for(":").

  3. In the Replace with box, enter the replacement text("")

  4. Select any other options that you want (in this case, N/A). Click Find Next, Replace, or Replace All.

What this does, is it looks for all colons (":") and replaces them with "" (or nothing) thereby removing all colons.

  • Press CTRL + F to bring up the "find" dialog box.

  • Press CTRL+H instead, to go straight to the "Replace" dialog box. It's a common standard keyboard accelerator for it.

  • @celsowm I'm not sure what you mean, Click "edit" under my question, and fix-it. If it still makes sense, I'll approve it.

Type CTRL+H and type : in the top box and nothing in the second box and then press Replace All.

This is the same for a lot of Windows text editors as well.
