Help with Macro to Change Font Color

Hello,



I'm looking for a macro that will search a Word document (I have Word 2003)
for a given character (in this case an asterisk). Once it finds the
character, I would like for that character and all the characters to the
left of it, until the first space to be a specific color. There could be
zero asterisks to hundreds of asterisks within a single document.



As an example, if this was in my document: "This is a test* and only a
test." I would like test* to be a specific color.



Any help would be appreciated.
