Default Delete all contents of cell but one word

I hoping someone could help me with this. I want to delete all the contents
of a cell and only keep the word "ML". Can anyone help?
Very much appreciated as I have 40 pages of this to do.

Why don't you just type the ML and copy it down? Can you find/replace and
change it? What are the other characters and are the 40 pages in one sheet
or 40 sheets?

Find/Replace does indeed work as I just ested it:

EditFind and Replace

In Find box: type ML
for Replace, LEAVE THIS BOX BLANK

(I put ML10 and ML11 in two separate cells, checked "replace all", an ML
disappeared)

Hope it works

Thanks for your answer, I very much appreciate it.

I have 40 pages to go through in the same file. The "ML" is attached to a
sentence, so will this work? For example... I have cells that say "Nail
Colour Shade 16ML"... these types of descriptions appear in cells/columns.. I
want to get rid of "NoML".
I hope this explains what I mean.

Hope you can help.

Even with your added info, I believe Find/replace as I outlined will work in
seconds flat...

I have a feeling something like this may help you, Hayette:
http://vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=544
Or perhaps this:
http://vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=156
(I think the 2nd might be best for your purposes.)
