Default Can I change the color of a searched word?

Let me clarify: What I want to do is search for a word and change the color
(and/or font) of it everywhere it appears in the document. For example, I've
created a sheet of lablels for Lemon-Lime Lip Balm and I want to make a sheet
for Strawberry. I know haw to find Lemon-Lime and replace it with Strawberry
on all 20 labels but is there a quick way to change them all from green to
red? If so, can I change the font of a repeated word the same way?

This is no problem. In the EditReplace dialog after you have typed in
Lemon-lime and Strawberry, click the "More" button. Then clikc format and
select the replacement font color and size.
