Default Wildcard and placeholders

Assuming that you have used a specific style for your section/chapter
headings, just search for "Section" and replace with "Chapter." With the
insertion point in the "Find what" box, click More to expand the Replace
dialog. Check the box for "Match case," and then click Format and choose
Style. Select the style used for your headings, and click OK. Replace All.
If you had used auto numbering for these headings, you would only have to
modify the number format in the Multilevel List dialog.

Hi there,

I am doing a find and replace exercise using wildcards.
I have MS Office Professional 2010.

I want to replace "Section X" by "Chapter X" (X being a number from 0 to
9)

Here is what I have inputed into the Find and Replace box:
Find what: Section ([0-9])
Replace with: Chapter \1

Curiously, "Section X" is replaced by "X Chapter" (the number appears
BEFORE Chapter).
Is this a bug? I have been using wildcard several times and never faced
such a behaviour.

Many thanks
