Find and Replace with space

[cheech1981]

Hi,



I am trying the following find and replace in Word 2016 with Wildcards on:

(p.)([1-9])
\1 \2

The author has, for instance, p.23 and I want it to be p. 23 (with a space between the abbreviation for page and the numeral).

However, my output is p.2 3

I'm guessing I'm just missing a simple fix, but I'm not seeing it at the moment. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!
