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

With ActiveDocument.Find
    .Clear
    .MatchWholeWord = True
    .FindText = "fact"

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
