How do you remove all numbers from a document?

Is there a program the can extract all the numbers out of a document with a simple click of a button? This document is hundreds of pages long so i don't want to do it by hand.


I want to listen to the document in a text to speech program, but the document contains paragraph numbers for EVERY paragraph. This is extremely annoying as I have to filter out the number in my head and it makes me lose concentration.


CAN ANYONE HELP ME?How do you remove all numbers from a document?
One thing I can think about is do a search and replace in a word processing document. Find and replace the digit 1 with a space. Then then digits 2, then 3, etc. till the digit 0.


Afterwards, find and replace any double space with a single space.





Of course, if you have any numbers inside the text, it will replace those too.
