Unhappy Ctrl+F entire bodies of text?

I've got documents with big, unorganized piles of text. So I often use Ctrl+F to find keywords to cut and paste sentences and paragraphs that have those keywords. It's just to better organize things into individual files.

It doesn't take a lot of effort to do something like 'Ctrl+F, select all instances of the word 'future,' make those all bold and red (to make them easier to track down in the pile), and then manually cut and paste each of those bodies of text into a new file.

But I was wondering, is there a way to make 'select all' highlight not just the word I search, but the entire body of text that word is in? That way all I gotta do is cut and paste all those bodies at once?

I've apparently got Word 2003 still, so let me know if I need a newer version to do this. Thanks to anyone who can help.
