Help with find and replace

[EagerToLearn]

Hello there,
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
This is my second time to ask a question, my first experience was absolutely wonderful, the reply back was almost instant.<o></o>
Ok, I am reconciling a bank and the check number where there is a check skipped is followed by an asterisk (*)<o></o>
The bank statement is huge and the idea of deleting this asterisk manually is just scary.<o></o>
I tried the find and replace deal but it did not work.<o></o>
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.<o></o>
<o></o>

Here is how a check number looks like if the 22512*

The * is a wildcard so in order to use it in the find/replace you must put the "~" in front of it.
