Default how do I search and replace words from a list?

I have a list of numbers and I need to increase some of the numbers by 1.
Can I create a list of names to be replaced and run it?

Thanks in advance.

depends on the way the list is written: automatically or manual?
in the latter case consider, converting the text to tble (menu table), then
copy the colum with number to excel, make your changes and copy the data back.
if the list isn't too long: do it manually, will be quicker
