You need to perform the following search and replace:

Find what:
^\*
Replace with:
<nothing>
With regular expression enabled and POSIX regular expression syntax enabled in the general preferences.

The ^ character anchors the search to the start of a line and the backslash makes the search look for a real * character rather than a repetition.

Hope this helps.
