Sourajit,

I think you would have to set this up as a phrase tagging problem, where
the phrase containing your target word takes a particular (set of) label(s). 
The tutorial should cover the basics of phrase mode; you'd need to alter the
data to identify your targets.  Again, it would help if you clearly specified 
your
task.

Regards,

Mark
