You shouldn't need to process each paragraph individually. 'Replace All' will do the lot in one go - and it won't touch anything in headers or footers.

However, as Charles noted, your first post didn't mention the titles and subtitles. In that case, if your paragraphs are formatted using different paragraph Styles from your titles and subtitles, you have two options:
1. Specify only the paragraph Styles you want to update, via the Format|Style options in the Find/Replace dialogues; or
2. Update everything, then delete the changes to the titles and subtitles, using:
Find = ^lthanks for your input^p
Replace = ^p,
again specifying the paragraph Styles for the titles and subtitles, via the Format|Style options in the Find/Replace dialogues.

If you have more paragraph Styles for the body content than for the titles and subtitles, you might find the second option quicker.

If you haven't used different paragraph Styles for the titles and subtitles from what you've used for the rest of the content, now is the time to do so - then do the Find/Replace as outlined above. At most, you'll need to do three Find/Replace operations.
