a complex Find & Replace?

[Shmuel Wolfson]

You could provide a few example of these strings?
Is it 140 strings total or 140 different strings that appear several 
times in the book?

You could use Frame wildcards to help with the search:
See: 
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FrameMaker/8.0/help.html?content=Chap2-FrameMaker-Basics_117.html
Then replace with the conditional format "By Pasting."
