Barbara, This can be done in PAF with the Global Replace feature. What is not clear from your note is whether the "Submitted" phrase you want to get rid of is all that has been entered into the date field - or - whether there is a date element following the "Submitted" phrase that you want to keep. For example: The date field could contain "Submitted" and you simply want to delete that entry. (use Tools > Global Search and Replace for dates to replace "Submitted" with nothing - no entry in the Replace box) Or The date field could contain "Submitted 20 Jun 1995" and you might either want to delete "Submitted" and leave "20 Jun 1995" (use Tools > Global Search and Replace for dates to replace "Submitted " - note the space following the submitted phrase - with nothing) - or - delete the entire entry to blank out the field. (use Tools > Global Search and Replace for dates to replace "Submitted 20 Jun 1995" with nothing -- and would have to be done for each specific date used in the submitted phrase.)
