Just tinkering and perhaps with some searching you may find something more complete but:

Code:
Sub StyleCheck_ContractionsTest()
Dim oRng As Range
Dim oRngEval As Range
  Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range
  Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
  With oRng.Find
    .Text = "n't"
    .Wrap = wdFindStop
     While .Execute
       Set oRngEval = oRng.Words(1).Duplicate
       If oRngEval.Characters.Last = " " Then oRngEval.End = oRngEval.End - 1
       oRngEval.Select
       If MsgBox("Do you want to amend the selected contraction?", vbYesNo, "Convert") = vbYes Then
         MsgBox Left(oRngEval.Text, Len(oRngEval.Text) - 2)
         Select Case Left(oRngEval.Text, Len(oRngEval.Text) - 2)
           Case Is = "can": oRngEval.Text = "cannot"
           Case Is = "Can": oRngEval.Text = "Cannot"
           Case Is = "couldn": oRngEval.Text = "could not"
           Case Is = "Couldn": oRngEval.Text = "Could not"
           Case Is = "shouldn": oRngEval.Text = "should not"
           Case Is = "Shouldn": oRngEval.Text = "Should not"
           Case Is = "wouldn": oRngEval.Text = "would not"
           Case Is = "Wouldn": oRngEval.Text = "would not"
           Case Is = "won": oRngEval.Text = "will not"
           Case Is = "Won": oRngEval.Text = "will not"
           Case Is = "didn": oRngEval.Text = "did not"
           Case Is = "Didn": oRngEval.Text = "Did not"
           Case Is = "don": oRngEval.Text = "do not"
           Case Is = "Don": oRngEval.Text = "Do not"
         End Select
         oRng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
       End If
     Wend
  End With
  MsgBox ("Complete!")
lbl_Exit:
  Exit Sub
End Sub
