Default Clean Up Data


I am using Excel 2003 and I have a spreadsheet that I need to format.
The spreadsheet contains about 10,000 email addresses;however, all the
email addresses have 'smtp' in front of it so it looks like this:


I need to remove the 'smtp' in front of each email address, but I don't
feel like doing it one-by-one since there are 10,000 email addresses.

Is there a way to do this all in one shot or at least in batches?
Thanks for any advice.

",6,99)
This assumes that no address is longer than 99 characters (including
stmp:)

Assuming your addresses are in column A, highlight the entire column.
Type Ctrl+H. In the Find type in "SMTP" and leave the Replace with
empty. Click Replace All. This will remove the SMTP from all.
