Subtracting a number from every number in a document

I have a document with hundreds or thousands of numbers. These are page references. The page references have now shifted, so I need to modify every reference.

Using regex in word advanced find and replace, I have tried:

[0-9]{1,}

While this does return each number, it will also then return the next 2 digits of a 3 digit number, which I want to avoid.

The numbers each have 2 or 3 digits and need to subtract 14 from each.

Example:

George V, 116
George Washington Memorial Parkway, 223
Georgian designs, 91, 196, 202; as unique 215

This should become:

George V, 102
George Washington Memorial Parkway, 209
Georgian designs, 77, 182, 188; as unique 203

The following should find all numbers in Word: <[0-9]{1,}>

< and > represent the start and end of words.
