AppleScript for references

Hi Everyone

I work a lot with references. In a manuscript, a reference can be introduced basically in two ways: in the form "Last-Name, 1999" or as "Last-Name (1999)" Every time I search a reference in a manuscript I have to search it in both ways so I have to delete the comma and put parentheses to the year over and over again. Basically I work checking references so I do that hundreds (perhaps thousands) of times (obviously for different names and years).

I need a script that eliminates coma and put in parentheses the year in a selected text. Does anyone know how?

With greetings.
h.

PD I work in Microsoft Word
