How can I use the Find and Replace feature when recording a Macro? I am
trying to set up a macro that will find a series of like words in a document
and bold them for quick recognition.

Using the macro recorder to record a Find and Replace action produces some
really ugly code. This is how you would do it starting from scratch:

Dim myrange As Range
Selection.HomeKey wdStory
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
Do While .Execute(FindText:="yourword", MatchWildcards:=False, _
Wrap:=wdFindStop, Forward:=True) = True
Set myrange = Selection.Range
myrange.Font.Bold = True
Loop
End With

Hope this helps.
