Find and Replace replaces digits instead of number
I'm trying to update a document with many numbers in it. If I try to replace a number like 8.95 with 9.95, Word changes 18.95 to 19.95, 28.95 to 29.95 and so on. Is there a way to have it only replace the instances of 8.95? The "match whole word" box is grayed out. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Using the "Match prefix" option in the Find & Replace dialog box appears to work. See screen shot.
