Default remove punctuation from address

You may want to just do a series of edit|Replaces to remove whatever you
consider punctuation.

Select the range
edit|Replace
what: , (comma)
with: (leave blank or a space character????)
replace all

And just keep doing this for each of your characters to remove.

I need help removing commas, periods, parenthesis, dashes, etc from an
address file a customer supplied to me. Below is one row for example. In
order to dump the address file into our system, I need to remove the
punctuation. Is there a formula that will do this for me? The Name,
Company and address are each in a different cell.
