How can I find specific a word in Word 2013 without including other words?

[PixelPug]

I am trying to find a certain word without including others in a table on Word 2013. For example, I would try to find Flick but it would also show the phrase Quick Flick in results. I have tried "Flick", Flick NOT Quick, Flick NOT "Quick Flick", however when I include ", NOT or anything that usually would allow you to narrow down searches, it says there are no matches.

I have tested something out and for " to work, it must appear as "Flick" in the document instead of using them as conditional values.

I also don't see anyway to put this into affect without changing Quick Flick to Quick flick and enabling Match Case in options when looking for Flick.

Word's Find/Replace tools don't allow you to specify that a found word can't be part of a larger string. you could tell Word to Find 'Flick' when not preceded by 'Quick', but its a lot of work. To do so, you'd use a wildcard Find/Replace, where you'd need to negate (via [!#]) each character of 'Quick' preceding 'Flick', where # is the character to be negated. Even that's not reliable, though, as then it also wouldn't find 'Mick Flick' or 'Mint Flick', for example.

Of course, if you used a macro-driven Find/Replace, you could let the macro test what phrase the found string is/is not part of.
