Default finding words containing a certain letter

Hi

I'm trying to find a way that makes Word find (and highlight) a word
containing a certain letter. Presuming that the letter is 'x', I tried to put
'*x*' in the 'Find what' field with 'use wildcards', but it's not working.

I noticed that 'x*' does find all words starting with 'x', but '*x'
behaves strangely.
