Ok... so every regex implementation is a bit different.
Use:
[0-9]* John Smith
Apparently word doesn't like the \s for blank space.. you can just type the blank space. Also, make sure you click on the "Use wildcards" checkbox. You might have to click the "More" button to see it.
This basically means find any character between 0-9. The asterisk means find one or more. So this will match
1 John Smith
and
10 John Smith
Of course the J means match a J the o means match o etc. I tested this regex on a document that contains:
1 John Smith
2 John Smith
32 John Smith
And it worked. (Windows and Mac version of Word)
See this topic for some info.
