can anyone tell me how I do a find and replace text using wild cards.I have room numbers 700 - 799 in a drawing, I want to change the numbers to 600-699.
meaning I just want to change the first number in any given room number. 
when I do a find and replace, find 7 and change to 6 it not only changes the 7xx and changes to 6xx but t will also change room number 717 to 616. I need the room number to be 617. hope this makes sense..

Thanks,
DD
