Are you searching for a page number field?

Oops I stuffed up the text there - it should have been:
Find: Page ^#
Replace: Page_^&
Basically with my transcription work we have to add non-breaking spaces after most numbers, but for some numbers (like numbers after the words unit, paragraph, etc.) the non-breaking space goes between the word and the number, not afterwards. I often forget to add them so I'm trying to do find/replaces to find those specific words and add the non-breaking spaces between those words and numbers. But creating 10 sections in a macro for each word + number combination (e.g. page 0-9 / unit 0-9) is time-consuming.

Are you really looking for a macro? I am reading your question as you simply want a solution to be able to do the replace.
As you've seen, the general replace function is very powerful.
Once you have replace settings that do what you want, you can record a macro if you need one.

Yes that's a good point, I am going to make a macro but really I'm just trying to figure out how to do it in find/replace and then I'll just turn it into a macro.
