Default Wildcards in Word

Hi.
Using find & replace & wildcards, I am trying to select text that comes after a colon so that I can format it bold. I am using the following: ( : )(^32)(*^13). This finds the colon and the text after the colon, but I only want the text after the colon to be selected. In the 'replace what' box I just want the text after the colon to be formatted bold. I've tried \1\2\3, but that bolds the colon and the text and if I just use \2\3 the colon disappears altogether. What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be very much appreciated!
