Are the words you want to recolour entirely upper-case, or mixed-case as well?

The word that I want to make colour is only Upper-case, eg. " If you use LET, it will..."
So LET must be upper-case (colour)

In that case you can use a wildcard Find/Replace, where:
Find = <[A-Z]{1,}>
Replace = ^&
and you use the replacment format options to specify the required font colour.

No macros required.

In the find dailog I have entered <[A-Z]{1,}> and in the replace dailog I have entered ^& then in the format/font I have put in bold/red, but when I run it it is doing nothing.

Did you check the 'use wildcards' option?

If you're using upper-case to identify some specific type of information, perhaps a command-name, you might also consider using a character style. This will make it easier to extend the document to cover more commands, and to make simple updates such as red to Courier.

As for red, a) it's best reserved for warnings; b) printed, scanned or copied in b/w it will be rendered almost the same as the body text …
