Default Bold each line of text that starts with a recurring symbol

Greetings,



I have researched this at length and found no answer.

I have a document with numerous "title" lines, each of which begins with a (§) symbol.

Example:

§ 1. Frogs that jump backwards

Except for the leading symbol (§) that begins each, these "title" lines have no relationship to each other.

I desire to run a wildcard search-replacement so that each "title" line appears in bold text.

Based on research, I have tried this:

Find what: ^13\§ *^13
Replace with: \1 ((bold))

Based on Example 6 at this URL (http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/usingwildcards.htm), I believed that the above should have worked.

It did not.

Instead, it returned the message "The Replace With text contains a group number which is out of range".

Thanks for your time and kind assistance.
