OT: "Find & Replace" in Word (PBB)

I have a public domain work which someone has crowd sourced page numbers in the format {264}. The book has over 600 pages, so I would like to find an automatic process to "find & replace" the current format to the PBB syntax [[@Page:264]].

Does anyone know if this is possible directly in Word? If so, do you know the steps to accomplish it? Pretty please? Smile

Try setting up the following find / replace syntax

Note this will only find occurrences with three-digit page numbers, you will have to do something similar for 1 / 2 digit numbers

This is derived from the work Fr Devin did at https://community.logos.com/forums/t/51122.aspx

Assuming no other {} delimiters

Find: **\{(*)\}**

Repl: [[@Page:\1]]
