Default Finding all selected instances of a style

I'm working in a 300-page document. I have 8 occurrences of a particular
style and when I choose "Select all 8 instances," one instance of the style
is displayed.

How do I quickly locate each of the other instances without manually
scrolling through the document? I can't see anything in the Find and Replace
dialog box that does it; nor does the Next button in the Reviewing toolbar do
anything.

There has to be an easy way that I'm not seeing? Or is the only way to set
it to a 10% zoom and pick out each of the instances?

Default Finding all selected instances of a style

I figured out my solution: I use the Find and Replace dialog box, identifying
both the style and the formatting variant from the style. Then I can quickly
locate each instance.
