Default how to find one word at a time in a large document?

In word 2000, I was able to find one word at a time in a document such as the
bible. Now the tab says "Find all" and all the words are highlighted and
then I have to search through the whole document for the highlighted words,
which defeats the purpose of the FIND function. If there is no remedy for
this problem, I will uninstall microsoft word 2003 because of this
inefficiency. I work with large documents and need to find specific words in
them quickly.

Find All is only displayed when the highlight all items check box is
checked. Otherwise it is find next.
So nothing wrong with the design - the problem is pilot error.
