*Try using a negative character class like [^\d\n\r] *
That will do it! .. and as an extra benefit catches any periods used as a 
delimiter as well.

Deepening the challenge, the phone numbers are actually in the second of 
three columns separated by tabs. If I can get the phone numbers stripped I 
can then impose a uniform format on them. But how do I focus the 
find/replace on just this second column? I can do this in many small steps, 
but figure there must be an elegant way to do it in a single step.

Before...

Name1        1234567890        Single Lifetime
Name2        123-4567890        Joint Lifetime
Name3        123-456-7890        Joint Lifetime
Name4        (123)4567890        Single
Name5        (123) 4567890        Single
Name6        (123)-4567890        Single
Name7        (123)456-7890        Joint
Name8        123.456.7890        Joint

After...
Name1        1234567890        SingleLifetime
Name2        1234567890        JointLifetime
