Replacing braces in search and replace strings "{" and "}"

Subject: Replacing braces in search and replace strings "{" and "}"

I need to automate a search and replace function in MS Word with pattern
matching turned on. Braces ( "{" and "}" ) already have special meaning
in AppleScript (as well as the pattern matching feature of search and
replace in Word). How can I get my find string to contain braces?

Thanks,
