Default Replace a constant with an incrementing number

Is there a way in Word to replace a constant with a self incrementing number?
For example, I have a 500+ page Word document, it has a fixed phrase XYZ
repeated many, many times in the document. I need to replace XYZ with a self
incrementing number where I can specify what the starting number would be;
first occurance of XYZ becomes 101000, second occurance of XYZ becomes 101001
etc.
Can I use 'Find and Replace' for what I need to do? Or do I have to get
into Macros?
