For the general answer, see
http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm. The specific search
string to use with the wildcard setting in this case is
/ word[0-9]{1,}a
(include a single space before the slash character). The replacement
string should be empty. Then click the Replace All button.
This can be recorded or written directly as a macro if it's something
you need to do to many documents, but it doesn't seem necessary.
