Word VBA wildcard search

I don't think you can use{3} for your needs. I can't answer your exact question but I use this macro for finding strings that aren't always know.

Code:

Sub WhereIsIt()
    a1 = "[0-9A-z] "
    B2 = "Z[0-9A-z]Z"
    
    ActiveDocument.Range(0).Select
    Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
    While Selection.Find.Execute(a1)
        StartReformat = Selection.Start
        Selection.MoveRight
        Selection.Find.Execute (B2)
        StopReformat = Selection.End
        Selection.MoveRight
        Selection.Select
        Selection.Font.Color = 255
        Selection.Font.Bold = True
        Selection.Font.Size = 20
    Wend
   
End Sub
