To understand you better, I assume you want to change the term (without the «») 
«Machine X» to «Machine X³» - think the 3 is 500...

Then the method of choice is:
Select the new term «Machine X³» and copy it to the clip board
Find the old term and Change > By Pasting

A generally better method would be to have a user variable ProductName with the 
current value «Machine X». The you just change the definition to «Machine 
X<super>500» and update the variable references. Personally, in customer documents I 
maintain the following user variables (here for personal use in a software 
description):
