Word 2007 Find/Replace w/ Page Numbers

Hello all!

I am using Word 2007 and the font Adobe Garamond Pro. Within that font are special text figures to use in place of regular numbers (lining figures). I have created a macro that searches the document and replaces lining figures with the text figures.

This it does with no problem. When I used Word '03, I could switch to the footer, run the macro, and it would replace my page number lining figures with the special text figures. It was swell. However, now in Word 2007, I seem unable to get any type of find-replace command (even when I do them manually in the pop-up box) to alter my page numbers, though they still work for text formatted as body text.

I have also created various find-replace macros for replacing f* combinations with f-ligatures. These still work in the headers and footers of my document. When I replace the {Page} with a simple 1 and run the macro... BAM it replaces it with the text figure no problem, so it would seem as though it is only the {Page} code in the footer that (in this version of Word, at least) is completely uncooperative .

A further, and potentially related problem: I am also unable to use find-replace to replace my lining figures in numbered lists of the body text with text figures.

So, my question: Is there a way to get Word '07 to allow me to replace my areas formatted as number areas? I know Word '03 could, but it seems '07 'locks' numbers from being replaced.

I appreciate any assistance you fine folks can give me in solving this!

Thank you,
Jon
