I have a long piece of text copied from a notepad with a structure as follows:

Sub Heading XYZ
TextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTe xtTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextText TextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTe xtTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextText

Sub Heading ABC
TextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTe xtTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextText TextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTe xtTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextText

Sub Heading MNO
TextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTe xtTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextText TextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTe xtTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextText

....

Now in this text I want to BOLD the sub headings. With
Find: ^p^p
Replace:~~~
I have the article converted the above piece of text converted to:

Sub Heading XYZ
TextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTe xtTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextText TextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTe xtTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextText ~~~Sub Heading ABC
TextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTe xtTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextText TextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTe xtTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextText ~~~Sub Heading MNO
TextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTe xtTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextText TextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTe xtTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextText

Now, how to convert ~~~Normal Format Subheading^p to ^pBOLDED Format
Subheading^p.

In simple language anyway to change only the format of a text piece like by
using a wildcard but keeping the text data same???

After

Find: ^p^p
Replace:~BFaraz~

&

Find: ^p
Replace:~EFaraz~

Finally made this macro workout for the same!
Running the same a few times to convert all!

Sub Macro1()
For x = 1 To 2000
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = "~BFaraz~*~EFaraz~"
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchWildcards = True
End With
Selection.Find.Execute
Selection.Font.Bold = True
Next
End Sub
