Using regular find and replace, you can search for any 1 digit number by
putting ^# in the find what box, for a two-digit number by ^#^#, etc..

Using wild card search and replace, you can search for any one or two digit
number by putting
<[0-9]{1,2}> in the find what box and putting a check in the Use wild cards
checkbox.

Thanks, that works a treat.

I want to find chapters which are only numbers instead of Chapter N. Is
there any way to refine it so it only finds numbers at the beginning of a
line or on a line by itself?
