This example will select each occurrence of the word "fact" and apply bold formatting.

With ActiveDocument.Find 
 .Clear 
 .MatchWholeWord = True 
 .FindText = "fact" 
 .ReplaceScope = pbReplaceScopeNone 
 Do While .Execute = True 
 .FoundTextRange.Font.Bold = msoTrue

This example follows the previous example except that whole words will not be matched. Therefore the word "fact" within the word "factory" or "factoid" will also have bold formatting applied.

With ActiveDocument.Find 
 .Clear 
 .MatchWholeWord = False 
 .FindText = "fact" 
 .ReplaceScope = pbReplaceScopeNone 
 Do While .Execute = True 
 .FoundTextRange.Font.Bold = msoTrue 
 Loop 
End With
