Default Find string and format 54 columns to right

Hi All

I'm trying to write code that looks in column A and finds the word "total"
(which has words before or after it in the same cell, plus could be in upper
or lower case).

Whenever "total" is found I need it and the 56 columns to it's right
selected and formatted with the following:

With Selection
.Font.FontStyle = "Bold"
.Font.ColorIndex = 2
.Interior.ColorIndex = 47
End With

I tried this code, but it won't pick up the "string" in a cell and I don't
know how to change the code so it does that:

Columns("A:A").Select
For Each oCell In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
If oCell = "*Total*" Then
Range(oCell.Offset(1, 0), oCell.Offset(0, 54)).Select
With Selection
.Font.FontStyle = "Bold"
.Font.ColorIndex = 2
.Interior.ColorIndex = 47
End With
End If
Next oCell

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
