Word 2007 - A Find/Replace loop that stops at the End of File

Question

I'm clearly a newbie, and this may be the wrong site to ask a question, but I'm desperate:

I've got a Find and replace operation that deletes four instances of a certain string, then leaves one instance intact.

What I'd like to do is have this whole operation loop until the end of the file.

Every loop I come up with turns infinite. Sample code online doesn't seem to work for me. This, for example:

VB

Do Until ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\Sel") = _
   ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\EndOfDoc")

Well, you can do it in this pattern. You can add a counter and check it for every fifth occurence.

Dim myStoryRange As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Range
For Each myStoryRange In doc.StoryRanges
 With myStoryRange.Find
 .Text = "targetstring"
 .Replacement.Text = ""
 .Wrap = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdFindWrap.wdFindAsk
 .Execute(Replace:=Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdReplace.wdReplaceOne)
End With
Next myStoryRange
