Default Automatic highlighting of text located with "Find"

In Office Word 2003, is there a way to run a search for a word in a document
and have each occurrence of that word automatically highlighted?

There should be a checkbox to "highlight all results" in the Find dialog.
You might have to hit More to see it. That will select the text for
copying.

If you want to apply highlight color formatting, you would do a find of the
the word, and replace it with the same word with highlight applied. You
would definitely need to hit More to apply the Format to the Replace box.
