Deleting Citation Numbers
I have a rather large novel that I'm editing since it was poorly formatted. I read all my books on a Kindle so tables of content are a bit of an encumbrance. So having removed the TOC I'm left with hundreds of tiny citation numbers throughout a 350 page book. Does any one know of a way to remove all of these at one time? Doing them individually will take weeks.

which table of contents did you remove? if the other one is still there then I'm not sure you want to do this.
Can you post a example. you can probably remove them with one regex search and replace. |

You will probably have to do it in three steps. And there is no way to reliably do it automatically.
But you can use [1-9] to search for single numbers, [1-9][0-9] for two numbers, [1-9][0-9][0-9] for three numbers. But since it will get all numbers, you will need to look at them all. If they are surrounded consistently by a certain codes like <sup> or <i> or <b>, you can search for them. If it is a pdf conversion particularly, you are going to have to look at all of them, albeit for a second or two. It will take minutes, not days, though I will concede the boredom. |

if you post an example of the citation numbers you'd get a better idea if it's possible/a good idea use a regex to remove them all

@mrmikel,
1 regex: http://regular-expressions.info/numericranges.html I'd just stick with Code:
[1-9][0-9]?[0-9]? |
