Do Edit - Replace. In Find what, put "(". In the Replace it with space put
nothing at all. Click Replace All.
Do that with the ")" and the "_" as well.
If you end up with a space where you don't want it, do it again. This time
in Find What, put " ". Note that the quotes have a space between them.
Replace that with nothing at all. HTH Otto
