I don't know of a fuzzy-match addin for Word. That said, using VBA there are numerous additional matching options available, including:
• IgnorePunct - ignores punctuation in found text


• IgnoreSpace - ignores extra white space in found text
• MatchAllWordForms - (also available via the GUI) finds all forms of the find text, e.g. if the text to find is "sit," "sat" and "sitting" are also found
• MatchPhrase - ignores all white space and control characters between words
• MatchPrefix - matches words starting with the search string
• MatchSoundsLike - (also available via the GUI) matches words that sound similar to the text to find
• MatchSuffix - matches words ending with the search string
• MatchWholeWord - (also available via the GUI) matches only entire words
These don't all work with wildcards and I've rarely needed to call on any of them. YMMV
