How do we search for a word or phrase in a Microsoft Word 2003 document?

Let's say we wish to find every instance of a particular word or phrase in a document.

We may need this information in order to ensure consistency of Capital letters
or we may wish to replace a word or phrase with another.

In the example below we decide to change the word Computer Courseware to Computer Manuals.

The class of 2004 were asked by their teacher to produce their own Computer Courseware.

If we wish to search within a text selection we Highlight the Text.

the entire document will be searched.
