I would suggest an alternative:
1. Search for ^p (a paragraph mark) with bold format. (This will ensure that
you get just full paragraphs that are bold.)
2. Replace with the style but remove the bold formatting from the "Replace
with" box (press Ctrl+B twice more until the Font: Bold disappears). I would
worry that the headings would be bolded whether the style includes that
format or not, or that Word would remove the bold formatting that might be
included in the style.

CTRL+H opens the replace dialog
With the cursor in the find box type CTRL+B (bold)
Click the More button
Click into the replace with box
Format and pick a heading style
Click CTRL+B
Note that you should have
Font: Bold under the empty find box
and Syle: Heading 1, Font Bold under the empty replace box. If not click
no formatting and start again!
When you have this click replace.
Note that if only part of the line is Bold, the whole paragraph will be
formatted with the heading style, so click through one at a time.

And how can you do that?
