Default MS Word 2000 Find & Replace

I am trying to do a simple "Find & Replace" but don't have the expertise to
figure it out. How do I find: -000-000-0000- and replace it with
the following format: (000) 000-0000 --

I need to replace the first hyphen that is found with a [space], and enclose
the first 3 digits with parentheses; eliminate the second hyphen and replace
it with a [space] as well; and finally, replace the last 'found' hyphen with
2 [spaces] followed by 2 hyphens. The telephone numbers obviously vary, so I
need to retain the original numbers.

Also, do I need to have the 'Wildcard' option checked? I appreciate any
assistance you can provide. Thank you in advance.
