The documents are mostly multilevel lists, that appear like this: 1.2(the actual list numbering) followed by a tab and then the number is repeated as plain text,this is followed by a text paragraph. e.g., 1.2tab1.2This document is for..... I want to find and replace to delete the second iteration of the numbering. Any thoughts??

But I'm not sure if there's a way to force word to take a concomitant numerical and alphabetical scheme. Sorry, bud. I'm sure you're feeling: Get an intern to delete it for you manually. :p
