Default Find specific text in a string

Dear friends,

I am attempting to use a macro to locate cells that contain phon
numbers. The phone numbers follow this format: (XXX)XXX-XXXX and ar
strings. Also, all of the numbers are in column A.

Here is how the info is listed:

Joe Samuel
123 Lilly Lane
Your town AL 55555
(XXX)XXX-XXXX
Sally Smart
3456 Her Lane
My Town AL 55555
(XXX)XXX-XXXX

I am trying to create code that will a) locate the fields that contai
the phone numbers and then b) clear that cell, moving on to the nex
cell, etc. I suppose the best thing to do would be simply to locat
fields where the first character is a parenthesis, then clear it.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
