Default changing decimal commas to periods and vice versa

I need to change several hundred figures like 12.345 to 12,345, and 12,3% to
12.3%.
In the past (Word 2003), I've done this using wildcards, with the following
find and search strings:
([0-9])([0-9])([0-9]).([0-9])([0-9])
\1\2\3.\4\5
However, in 2007, I'm getting:
12345,
and
123%,
FWIW, I've also tried using the "beginning of word" and "end of word"
parameters, but to no avail.
Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
