I'm not an expert on the Word Object Model, but I did find Word Object Model Reference, which looks worth a read (if only as a cure for insomnia).

I cannot see a property of the Find Object which gives the position of a successful find... I do, however, note that you can set a Font property. You can also set the Font property of the Replacement Object. My guess is that you can use the Unicode "private use" character values used for Wingdings (ie 0xF000 + 0x21 ("\x{F021}") for Wingdings "pencil at 45 degrees") plus the font name for find or replace.

I note also that a Selection Object can have a Find property... which looks plausible ?
