Search & Replace for field code numbers?

Not Really Me

I have a number of documents that use field codes for the numbering, like:
{AUTONUMLGL}

This causes paragraph numbers to always print with a trailing period '.',
like '4.4.'

The fix is to change the code to {AUTONUMLGL \e}, which removes the period
so it prints '4.4'

Is there a way to do this using search and replace or to make a macro? We
are using Word2000 and so far the only option I have found is a manual copy
and paste.

duh. Never mind. I figured it out as soon as I posted the message.

For those interested, from Tools->Options, select Field Codes. That makes
the field codes show up as text. From there a regular text S&R works.

How about:
First: Tools-->Option--> check the "Field Codes" item
Then: Edit--> Replace .....
