All suggestions gratefully received.

It would be relatively easy to do in perl, suggested logic is to read in a paragraph, check for the word, print if found. Only takes a few lines of code.

If by "looking for" you mean finding a script which does you what you want, I don't know where you find it, it's a bit trivial to bother to save.

Sample attached.
