Default Searching for either a character or no character

Let's say I want to search for all instances of "its" and "it's" in a document. I could do that with two searches, one for "its" and one for "it's." But can I search for them with one search? For that I would need search parameters that would be either one character (the apostrophe) or no character. I don't see any way in Word to do that.

It would need to be something like this:

it['[no character]]s

I use Word 97.

Thanks.
Larry
