Macro to select multiple sentences that contain a specific word

I am looking to select the entire line. Using the word sentence in the title was misleading.

Yes the lines constitute an entire paragraph.



The lines are terminated by manual line breaks.

I would like both ends of the line included.

Once selected I would be making changes font and other text formatting.

These two statements are inconsistent. Please clarify. With Word's formatting display turned on, are these lines preceded by ¶, or by ↵?

Without knowing what those changes are (which quite possibly should be applied via a paragraph Style, it's impossible to write the required macro, since macros process such content iteratively, not concurrently.
