I was able to use the Range object that is returned from Content to get the start and end points of what I found. 
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Enum;
use Win32::OLE::Variant;
use Win32::OLE::Const;
use File::Find;

use vars qw($MSWord $wd $startdir);

# Create new MSWord object and load constants
$MSWord=Win32::OLE->new('Word.Application','Quit') or
    die "Could not load MS Word";
$wd=Win32::OLE::Const->Load($MSWord);

unless (open CONFIG, "H:\\perl\\config.txt")
{
  die "Cannot open config file: $!";
}

@config_lines = <CONFIG>;

my $doc = $MSWord->Documents->Open("H:\\perl\\Functional Design Templa
+te r1.6 baseline.doc");
my $content=$doc->Content;
my $find=$content->Find;

my $lastEnd = 0;

foreach $config_line (@config_lines)
{
    my $content=$doc->Content;
    my $find=$content->Find;

    $heading = (split(/===/, $config_line))[0];
    
    print $heading."\n";
    $find->{Text}= ($heading."^p");
    $find->Execute({FindText=>$wd,Forward=>$wd->{True}});
    my $output = $find->Found;
    print $output."\n";
    
    print $content->Start."\n";
    print $content->End."\n";
    
    if ($content->Start < $lastEnd)
    {
        die $heading.": heading out of order";
    }
    else
    {
        $lastEnd = $content->End;
    }
    
    if ($output == 0)
    {
        print "Can't find ".$heading."\n";
        die "Heading not found";
    }
}

print "DONE";

$doc->Close({SaveChanges=>$wd->{wdSaveChanges}});
