If you have multiple instances of a character or a word in your document that you want to delete, you have one of two options. You can manually search through the document and delete each instance. However, if your document is large, this can take quite some time to do. There is also the chance that you may miss some of the instances.

Another option you have is to use the Replace option. On the Home tab, in the Editing group, click the Replace option. Click the Replace tab. In the Find what field, type in the word or character that you want to delete. Leave the Replace with field blank. Click the Replace All button. Word will indicate how many replacements were made. Each instance of the character or word that you typed in to the Find what field will be deleted from your document.
