If you just want to see the occurrences, use the Find dialog (Ctrl+F) and
keep clicking the Find Next button; or, after finding the first occurrence,
close the dialog and use the Ctrl+PageDown shortcut to keep moving from one
to the next.

If you need a list of the page numbers, make an actual index:

- Select one occurrence (not necessarily the first one).

- In Word 2003 and earlier, click Insert > Reference > Index and Tables >
Index. Click the Mark Entry button and, in the next dialog, click the Mark
All button. If you have Word 2007, go to the References tab of the ribbon
and click the Mark Entry button, and in the dialog click the Mark All
button.

- Move to where you want the index (typically but not necessarily the end of
the document).

- In Word 2003 and earlier, click Insert > Reference > Index and Tables >
Index. Click the OK button. If you have Word 2007, go to the References tab
of the ribbon and click the Insert Index button.

Marking the occurrences automatically turns on the display of nonprinting
characters (because the XE fields used to mark them are formatted as Hidden
text). To turn that off, press Ctrl+Shift+8 or click the ¶ button on the
toolbar or Home tab.
