Are there any character codes (i.e. ASCII or unicode) that work in Word to
find/replace Chinese characters?

Yes: the codes that correspond to the characters you want to find and
replace.

Better question: how do I find the codes? In the past, I've always been able
to identify the character codes by highlighting the foreign character and
using the Insert->Symbol command. As long as the character is highlighted,
Word usually displays the selected character and it's code. However, when I
try this with a Chinese character, I get a blank box and the character code
for white space.

The function for this is CHAR. Make a list of the numbers 
from 1 to 255. Insert the CHAR function next to each 
number, using the number as the argument for the function. 
This can all be accomplished quickly by using autofill 
etc. The problem is that this method does not help you 
with the more exotic Unicode stuff above 255. If that is 
what you need, then I have not helped you. If this 
explanation for the ASCII codes is not clear, I will 
gladly send you an example. (I am new to newsgroups and 
not quite sure how to do this. email?) I also looked in 
Help and did not find any easier way to print a list of 
symbols. Joe.

I recently installed Office v.X hoping to be able to download a set of

buying a language download).  Any suggestions?  Thanks!
