Hi Dick,
The piece you are missing is what Quanta calls "placeholders" (backreferences 
in PHP).

In "Find":
([\d]</)p(>)
The parenthesis tell it to put the contents in a placeholder or variable.

In "Replace With":
\1h2\2
and check "Use placeholders".
The \1 will insert the contents of the first pair of parenthesis and the \2 
the second and so on.

HTH,
Alan
