Default Search for CAPITALIZED words?

Howdy all,

Word 2002, XP, question on searching for capitalized text in a document.

What I need to do is a Find and Replace on all capitalized text within a
document, and switch it to Bold, leaving it capitalized. There is nothing
in common with any of the words that are in caps, so there are no character
strings to search on; it'll have to be a style or font setting or??
I can find nothing that can locate non-specific text that is all
capitals. In other words, each capitalized word is different; there is no
relationship between any of the words, so there is no pattern of text to
search on; only the fact that it's body text and it's capitalized. e.g., I
might need to find /JUST, /THIS, /HOW, /WHY, ALWAYS, and so on, and change
them to Bolded characters. Usually, not always, the capitalized word will
be the first word of a sentence, but the length of the word is variable.
I've tried a lot of things including wild cards and capitalized, but to
no avail. I might be missing something silly, but if that's so, I sure
can't figure it out!

Any ideas would be most appreciated. Please make me slap my forehead and go
D'uh! g because the answer is actually obvious?

TIA,
Pop
