Turn on wildcard searching and use the search term
([!.])^13
and the replacement term
\1.^p
The expression [!.] means "any character that isn't a period". See

I have a very large document (currently 644 pages) that was written
by a flatulent weasel who thinks punctuation is only for liberal arts
majors and other wimps. One of his very common errors is to omit
periods at the end of paragraphs.
Is there any way to search for "*^p" where * stands for any character
BUT a period? If I could systematically search for all paragraphs
that end with anything but a period I could make sure I don't miss
any instances of this error. (I've already deleted Space^p and
Space-Space^p.)
I'm still using Word 2003 on XP Professional.
Thanks,
