Hi, simple question for the right person: I've got a 350 page document which for work I have to insert [square brackets] around certain numbers throughout the doc.



The doc is mostly text, but there are references to section numbers like "see Section 3.1" and "see Section 10.13" etc throughout - I need to change them all so they read "see Section [3.1]" and "see Section [10.13]".

There are hundreds of these references so it isn't practical to edit one by one. I've done lots of research on wildcards for find and replace, so I have no problem finding these references <(Section )*(.)*> but can't work out how to do a single find-replace to insert the [ ] around all sorts of different numbers, without changing the numbers.

This is literally (ok not literally) killing me, spent hours on it so far. Please help!!
