im using word Inetrop in a WPF C# App Which i find a word and Change its color to red and im facing issues

This is my Code it works but I have a problem at the third part when I try to change the word 'No' color to red it changes any word that includes 'No' for example 'Not Isolated' was Effected by this and its color was changed

how can i specify that i want only the word 'No' to be red?

object findStr = 'Not Applicable';
object findStr2 = 'N/A';
object findStr3 = 'No';

while (fileOpen.Selection.Find.Execute(ref findStr))
{

fileOpen.Selection.Font.ColorIndex = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdColorIndex.wdRed;
}
fileOpen.Selection.Start = 0;
while (fileOpen.Selection.Find.Execute(ref findStr2))
{

fileOpen.Selection.Font.ColorIndex = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdColorIndex.wdRed;
}
fileOpen.Selection.Start = 0;
while (fileOpen.Selection.Find.Execute(ref findStr3))
{

fileOpen.Selection.Font.ColorIndex = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdColorIndex.wdRed;

}

Hi,

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

You can try to add a space like this:

 object findStr3 = "No ";

Thanks.

Maybe execute ‘fileOpen.Selection.Find.MatchWholeWord = True’ before starting the loops.

  private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
             {
                   
                 MSWord.Application wordApp = new MSWord.Application();
                 MSWord.Document wordDoc;       
                 wordApp = new MSWord.Application(); 
                 wordApp.Visible = false;
                 Object Nothing = Missing.Value;
                 wordDoc = wordApp.Documents.Open(Environment.CurrentDirectory + "\\test.docx", ref Nothing, ref Nothing, ref Nothing, ref Nothing);
                 //object findStr1 = "Not Applicable";
                 //object findStr2 = "N/A";
                 object findStr3 = "No ";
        
                 //while (wordApp.Selection.Find.Execute(ref findStr1))
                 //{
                 //    wordApp.Selection.Font.ColorIndex = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdColorIndex.wdDarkRed;
        
                 //}
        
                 //wordApp.Selection.Start = 0;
                 //while (wordApp.Selection.Find.Execute(ref findStr2))
                 //{
        
                 //    wordApp.Selection.Font.ColorIndex = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdColorIndex.wdBlack;
        
                 //}
        
                 //wordApp.Selection.Start = 0;
                 //wordApp.Selection.Find.MatchWholeWord = true;
                 while (wordApp.Selection.Find.Execute(ref findStr3))
                 {
                        
                     wordApp.Selection.Font.ColorIndex = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdColorIndex.wdRed;
                 }
        
                 wordDoc.Save();
                 wordDoc.Close(false, Nothing, Nothing);
                 wordApp.Quit(false, false, false);
        
             }
