Default Find & Replace--Wildcards

I have a list of 300+ medical/scientific article citations in Word 2003.
Each article citation is preceded by two paragraph signs, a 3-digit number
from 295 to 668 (in order), a period and a tab. I would like to remove
these numbers, the period and the tabs, but not any other numbers that may
be in the text--they are part of the citation. Getting rid of the paragraph
marks, periods and tabs is simple stuff. But I can't figure out how to get
rid of the numbers! I tried wildcards, and entering ^13 for the paragraph
and ^# for digits (as suggested in Mr. Mayor's excellent paper) but I get an
error message telling me that ^ is not valid for Find What. What am I doing
wrong? Is there a way to do it right?
