Find and Replace "period"

[Art Campbell]

If it's a decimal tab stop you're talking about, the separator
character can be specified in the Tab set up dialog, so you can
globally switch to a comma and back to a decimal point.

If it's entered manually, I think using wildcards and searching for
.[0-9] would work to find ths strings, but you can't use wildcards to
keep the decimal numbers intact. So if it's entered manually, I'd
think about changing it to a tab-based tag. ;- )
