Default Finding & Replacing Characters using wildcards

Hi,

I am trying to use the Find/Replace wildcard syntax and add Heading 1
styles to my text. I have turned For example I have the following
sample text in my document:

MyHead1AnthropologyHead1My
MyHead1Cell BiologyHead1My
MyHead1Center for Neuroscience and Regeneration ResearchHead1My

It is my understanding that I need to use the following in the "Find
What" box:

(MyHead1*Head1My^13)

And use the following in the "Replace With" box:

\1^p ((style "Heading 1"))

However, it doesn't apply the "Heading 1" style format instead I get:

MyHead1Anatomical PathologyHead1My

((style "Heading 1"))

Can someone explain what I need to fix to accomplish what I need?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

-Greg
