In earlier versions of Word, I cannot remeber exactly, but there was a
feature in the search (some type of wildcard), where you entered a
number, lets say, 15 and it would find the two words you are
searching for within 15 spaces. Does this help?

You might be able to do it with wildcards, such as :

.. *word1*word2*.

Starting with the period followed by a space and ending with a
period to indicate that the string be within a sentence. Haven't
tested it, but it ought to work.

Good Luck |:)

This is like a Boolean search; like you search in Google. You
search for two or three words and finds documents with those words,
anywhere in the document. However, in this case, in Word 2003, I am
searching for two words in ONE SENTENCE, anywhere in the sentence.
If I am not mistaken this feature was available in earlier editions
of Word. Any solutions?
