For anyone who runs across the same problem in the future, I did find an
article that explains what was happening, the macro recorder doesnt
include the code to change the font. After manually adding the lines
of code to change the font, this is the final product....

Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = ""
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Font.Color = wdColorBlue
.Replacement.Font.Hidden = True
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = True
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
