    Question How to select rows either beginning with a 'BOLD' word or a capital E?

    I've tried to make that as descriptive as I can! I've inherited a long, long list of contacts from the previous PA in this job - we're talking well over 5000 rows.

    The format of the rows is generally:

    Row 1: Smith, John (the surname is always bold)
    Row 2: First line of address
    Row 3: Country
    Row 4: T 01595555555
    Row 5: E [email protected]

    My boss has asked me to go through removing the addresses and telephone numbers so I can import into his Outlook - I thought about running a Macro that would remove every 'Row 2-4' but the problem is there isn't always a 'third row', so it doesn't work effectively.

    What I'm really looking for is a macro or filter that would show only rows that either start with a 'bold' word or the capital E - but I'll run into trouble with the E thing when it comes to surnames beginning with E.

    I know this is probably easy and I'm being especially dense at not being able to figure it out - if anyone could help, I'd be most obliged!

    Many thanks
    J
