show text found before replacing

V

I'm replacing text using wildcards in Word 2002(win98se). I don't want to use "Replace All". The problem is, when I select "Find Next" Word finds the text(around 5-6 lines long) but I can't see the entire text I can see only the last line of the selection(at the top of the document window). I have to then use the scrollbar to see what's been found which is a real trouble for large files which I'm working with.

I need to see the entire text selection so I can decide to keep/replace the text selection.

How can this be done?
Thanks for any clues. I'll check back after a while.
