Forum:Copying Wiki tables

I want to copy the tables in and the later groups to the London wiki. What is the simplest way to remove the (put in this colour here) formating instructions - rather than manually deleting every one? I don't mind 'fiddly' (eg copy to Word and delete all occurrences of the following....') Jackiespeel 16:45, December 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * There are  and   templates in the table; once they are removed, it should look okay. Cheers, 18:40, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

So basically copy the 'edit' version to Word, do a search and replace and paste the resultant text to the relevant LW pages? Jackiespeel 22:42, December 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes. Word or perhaps Notepad++ are the best options. Cheers! 14:10, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

Could a note be added to the proverbial list of 'How to do it simple (if long-way-round) for non-technicals' (as those technically minded can sometimes do things quicker but more complex). Jackiespeel 15:35, December 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * May i remind (and inform) that copying code to word and back to an online editor will get a lot of junk code added to the information if you are not in source mode editing screen.
 * In notepad you have the option to 'find and replace' text. You can select the text you want removed throughout a page and replace with a space.
