Searching for 4 digits numbers, but only those starting at the beginning of a paragraph

[andreas]

Dear Experts:
I received a horribly formatted Word Document where the outline has
been numbered manually. I now would like to search for all the
manually numbered headings 4, such as "1.1.1.1 text" or "3.4.2.1 text"

I entered <[0-9].[0-9].[0-9].[0-9]> in the search field. I would like
to find only THOSE numbers that start right at the BEGINNING of a
paragraph, not also numbers that are located in the middle of a
paragraph such as (refer to chapter 4.4.4.3 for further information).

Is that possible and if so how?

Help is appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Regards,

Andreas Hermle

You could include the preceding paragraph mark in the search.
^13<[0-9].[0-9].[0-9].[0-9]>
Or
\n<[0-9].[0-9].[0-9].[0-9]> in MacWord
