Default Put parenthesis around each word in a list

How do I put parentheses around each word in a list where each word if
followed by a comma. For example, I want the list to look as follows:
(word1), (text2),(example3), (paragraph4), etc. I am using MS Word 2000.

Hi Mike,

Using Find/Replace:
.. Check the 'Use wildcards' option
.. Find: (*)(,)
.. Replace with: (\1)\2
