Thanks for the responses. What I'm searching for is not Keychain, nor is it an app that was added to my computer. It was a way of remembering log in IDs and passwords, and then you could go in and delete or edit them. It could have been part of an older operating system.
My issue has to do with one website in particular. When I go to log in, part of my user ID is pre-filled in and it's an old one. So each time I have to manually delete the partial log in and fill in the current stuff.

If it has to do with one web site, autofilling your user ID, then you asked the site to remember you and it does, with your old ID. Some might remember your password also.
Delete the cookie for that web site. Quit the browser and then re-open the browser and visit that site again. You should have to enter in your user ID, and check the box asking if you want the site to remember you.

I import audiobook CDs all the time. I have not see that problem. I don't think it is a problem with iTunes, but with the discs.
The discs often don't have consistent information formats from disc to disc on one book. You may have to re-import the discs, and check the Get Info after you import each disc. You might have to straighten the disc and track info for each disc. You should check the title, also.

Is all of the text that you are working with contained in a Text Box within Word? If so, you can't do what you want to do until you get the text out of the text box.

There is a utility out there called Text Cleaner
you can download a 30 day demo to try it out at
www.textcleaner.com
It's the best utility I found for doing exactly what you want.
It is a search and replace utility and you just enter the things you
want to edit.
In your case since the formatting is the same for each line, you could
search for this:
replace: [return] followed by 2 numerals, followed by /, followed by 2
numerals, followed by /, followed by 2 numerals and a space
with: [return]
effectively deleting the date and trailing space, leaving the number
(whatever it happens to be, since you are not searching for any specific
one) and the return.
If nothing else, download the demo and try it out.
I'm a happy user of this since 2001, but no other connection. It has
saved me countless hours cleaning up Excel and Word files for use in
Quark and InDesign.

I don't think so. I copied and pasted from a .txt file. I took the
file in to work on a thumb drive, and I was able to do what I wanted
to do in Word for Windows (newer version than my copy of Word X) on
my work computer.
At work, I tried opening the entire file and deleting what I didn't
want, unlike pasting the desired copy into a Word document as I"d
done at home. I just tried the same technique at home, and no joy.
I'll certainly take Jurgen's suggestion of trying Text Cleaner, but
I'm baffled as to why this isn't working when it's worked in the
past. If I hadn't been able to do it at work, I'd be tearing my hair
out.

The problem persists with a different user.
Now what? Re-install the OS?
Thanks for your suggestions.

How does one read an ACL? Doing a man -k ACL in the terminal lists commands under "acl(3) - introduction to the POSIX.1e ACL security API" one being acl_get_permset but POSIX does not run under bash. IIRC POSIX is related to Perl?
I want to see if an "unexpected ACL" that keeps popping up in a launchd plist could be related to the newest version of Skype hanging on open in 10.6.8.

Create a new group first, call it "Friends" for example.
Call up a contact name that you want to add to this new group.
Click the contacts Edit button. In the Note area on the contact card, type: "Friend".
That's all.
Click on the group name now.
The name should show in the group contact list.
It works on my Contact App in Mountain Lion.
There maybe another way, not sure why this works.
