I have the following:

Option Explicit
Sub Format_forecast()

Dim FoundCell As Range
Dim FindWhat As String

FindWhat = "Font"

' This section looks for the Forecast months and then changes font colour to
blue
With ActiveSheet.UsedRange
Set FoundCell = .Cells.Find(What:=FindWhat, _
After:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), _
LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False)

If FoundCell Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Not Found"
Else
FoundCell.Offset(4, 0).Font.ColorIndex = 5
End If
End With
End Sub

This works fine for me and finds the first instance of the word "Font" and
changes the font colour. However I want this code to keep going and find all
the instances of "Font" and change the font colour.

Help!

find will find only the first find.
for subsequent finds you have to use <findnext
there is a good url given here which will help you. the sub give therein can
be modified(

The example in VBA help shows you how to do just that.
