Default Challenging Heading Edit with Find Replace

Fellow Forum Members,

I got a Word File of a manual that has been formatted to follow some military standard.

Hence, my Headings need to look like this:

4.3.1 Blah Blah.

Setting up the "4.3.1" and the UNDERLINE is easy to do in the STYLES window. What is posing as a problem is the period (".") located at the end of the Heading. It needs to be at the end without UNDERLINE applied. The UNDERLINE only needs to be applied for the TITLE itself.

Can the FIND & REPLACE tool be used to add that "PERIOD" at the end of all the Headings in the entire 600 page manual? Below is another way of posing my question:

FIND = End of every Heading
REPLACE = Add a PERIOD but don't apply the UNDERLINE Style attribute.

Any ideas will be greatly welcomed because this one has really got me stumped. My goal is to avoid having to do this manually. Thanks in advance.
