To search for a question mark (?) in Word version 5.50, select Edit Search (ALT, E, S), then choose “Text to Search For” (ALT+S) and type “^?” (without the quotation marks).

In Word versions 4.00 and 5.00, use the caret question mark combination (^?) in the “text:” field of the Search command. Make sure that the “whole word:” field is set to No or Word will not find the question mark.
