If you have Word up to 2003, you can use the find function CTRL+F to find
Format > Style > Stylename with the 'highlight all' option checked. This
works as long as the complete paragraph is formatted with the same paragraph
style.

This option is not apparently available in Word 2007 so there is no
automatic way to do so. You could use Find/Replace to locate them
individually or use a macro to process them individually.

In Word 2007, it is actually possible to find all instances of a style via
the Find dialog box too:

The first steps are the same as in previous versions:

1. Ctrl+F to open Find. Click in the “Find What†field (the field must be
empty).

2. Click More and select Format > Style > desired style name.

3. Now the 2007 specific procedure: Click “Find in†and select “Main
Documentâ€. This will find and select all instances of the specified style and
works as “Highlight all items found in†+ “Main Document†+ “Find All†in
previous versions – but it does not seem very obvious and I did not pay
attention to the “Find in†button until recently (because I read another post
here).

You are right - it wasn't very obvious

It is so unobvious that Beth Melton had to point it out to me numerous times
before I believed her! I think the Find All button was a lot more intuitive.

Right. This works for styles but not for other Find operations.

You can also select all instances of a style through the Styles pane--as
long
as you have selected Keep track of formatting in Word options: Click the
arrow to the right of the style name; click the line that says select all
xx
instance(s).
