Advanced Search & Replace

I have a very large document (>150 pages). On each page there is
header that contains, among other things the following: "Version *.*.*"
where the stars could be any combination of numbers, say "Version 1.2.3
or "Version 3.5.7", etc. What I would like to do is do a global searc
and replace each such instance with the following "Version 0.0.0" An
ideas?
Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance.

As long as the version only includes single digits the following 'Find
what' string works:

^#.^#.^#

The sequence '^#' represents Any Digit and can be inserted from the
'Special' list in advanced searches.

Hope this helps.
