I have several very large Word documents that are indexes for a series of
books whose files are numerous and widely distributed across several
networks. Because of this, Word's Index function could not be used and our
Editorial department compiled the indexes manually.

Now, however, the Editors want to know if Word can do a sort of conditional
find and replace. Specifically, they want to be able to tell Word to look for
all occurrences of a number or a range of numbers and, whenever an occurrence
is found, to update it by one (or some other specified amount). For example,
they want to be able to tell Word to look for all numbers between 100 and
200, and, for each one found, to add 4 to it: ie, if Word finds 102, it will
replace it with 106; if it finds 199, it will replace it with 203. It won't,
however, do anything at all to numbers below 100 or above 200. (These are
only possible examples.)

I don't think Word will do this natively, but is there a macro that might do
the trick? I know a bunch of editors who would be extremely thankful!
