More questions on using AppleScript with MSoft Word

Question

Thank you HD for your detailed reply in the other thread on closing docs in Word using AppleScript.
Here is another qn for all:
How does the "execute find" command work?
The dictionary for Word lists the following:
execute find find
[find text text] : The text to be searched for. Use an empty string to search for formatting only.
[match case boolean] : Set to true to specify that the find text be case sensitive.
[match whole word boolean] : Set to true to have the find operation locate only entire words, not text that's part of a larger word.
[match wildcards boolean] : Set to true if the text to find contains wildcards.
[match sounds like boolean] : Set to true to have the find operation locate words that sound similar to the find text.
[match all word forms boolean] : Set to true to have the find operation locate all forms of the find text for example, sit locates sitting and sat.
[match forward boolean] : Set to true to search forward toward the end of the document.
[wrap find find stop/find continue/find ask] : Controls what happens if the search begins at a point other than the beginning of the document and the end of the document is reached or vice versa if forward is set to false.
[find format boolean] : Set to true to have the find operation locate formatting in addition to or instead of the find text.
[replace with text] : The replacement text. To delete the text specified by the Find argument, use an empty string. You specify special characters and advanced search criteria just as you do for the find text argument.
[replace replace none/replace one/replace all] : Specifies how many replacements are to be made: one, all, or none.
→ text range/insertion point
According to my AppleScript manual, those in brackets are optional parameters. I assume the second find after "execute find" refers to the "find" object, and that this is a compulsory parameter.
I face the following problems:
(1)
If I try to set the text I want to find in the "find" object, I get an error. So this doesn't work:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
          set content of find to "book"
end tell
I get the following error:
error "Can’t set «class 1650» of «class w124» to \"book\"." number -10006 from «class 1650» of «class w124» to «class book»
(2)
If I ignore the "find" object, and use the first optional parameter of "execute find" which is "find text" to set my text to find, I also have an error:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
          tell document 1
  execute find find text "book"
  display dialog result
          end tell
end tell
Error message:
error "Microsoft Word got an error: document 1 doesn’t understand the execute find message." number -1708 from document 1
(3)
So the document is the wrong target for the "execute find" command, fine. But directing the command to the application won't work:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
  execute find find text "book"
  display dialog result 
end tell
Error message:
error "Microsoft Word got an error: Can’t continue execute find." number -1708

I know very little about AppleScripting MS Word beyond the fact that it is powerful but unforgiving. I did a Google on Microsoft Word Applescript Execute Find and found quite a few references to the correct syntax.
This is one of them.
Hope it helps.
