Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Hi, here is one option you can try:

Code:
With Intersect(Columns("A"), ActiveSheet.UsedRange)
    .Replace What:="~~", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False
    .Replace What:="~*", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False
    .Replace What:="-", Replacement:=" ", LookAt:=xlPart, SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False
End With
