Find Numbers in Word

[hooknows]

Does Word have the ability to search for instances where there is
number? I tried to do this with the Find function, but was unable t
accomplish this. For example, I have a document in Word with th
numbers 3, 199, 400, and 23 in different paragraphs. I would like t
search for only numbers, so I can replace them. Is there a way to d
this without manually going through the document and eyeballing for th
numbers?

Thanks

Use a wildcard search with [0-9]{1,} in the find what box

See the article “Finding and replacing characters using wildcards” at:

You need a wildcard search for

<[0-9]{1,}>

which will find any sequence of numbers.
