    Wink searching for word in word doc

    I want to write code so that if a word in a variable in the vba behind word is equal to a word in the word document, it changes that word in the document to bold.
    How would i do that?

    There is a .Find method that will do the search, but the easiest way to "find" the methods/functions used by
    Word to do this is to record a macro doing what you want to program. Then check the Modules in the VBA IDE
    and you will see how Word does it.
