You could use .Find - but only if you know what the word is. But, if you know what the word is, why are you trying to .Find it? Alternatively, you could use Instr. For example:
If Instr(ActiveDocument.Frames(1).Range.Text, "Technology")> 0 Then
With such a test, you can establish whether the word 'Technology' is present - and even where it starts in the frame.
