Find blocks with the same format with the find and replace function in MS Word

I am writing a glossary with MS Word and in the text I have interspersed blocks with different formatting. It is something like this (a bit more convoluted in fact):

term /pronunciation/ word type first definition example 1 second definition example 2 ...

Is there any way, using wildcard characters in MS Word's find and replace menu, to select those individual blocks of the same format?

Note: I don't mean finding all characters with a specified format at the same time, but identifying each time a single block of common formatting (enclosed between blocks of another formatting). For instance, if I wanted to find blocks with normal text in the above example, the results should be each time "find next" is pressed:

/pronunciation/

first definition

second definition

Solution 1:

No need to use wildcards, in the search window, leave the "Find What" box blank and use the formatting of the text you wish to find.

Note that you can also use negative constraints for the formatting:

You can cycle through the options by using keyboard shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl-B for Bold, Ctrl-I for Italic, etc.)
