Based on your example, the following modification to Andrew's code should work
Code:
Sub Macro2()
Dim aRng As Range
    Set aRng = ActiveDocument.Range
    With aRng.Find
        .ClearFormatting
        .Text = "Section"
        .MatchWildcards = True
        Do While .Execute  ' Loop until Word can no longer find the search string
            aRng.MoveEnd wdWord, 2
            aRng.MoveEndWhile "0123456789."
            aRng.Start = aRng.Words(2).Start
            If aRng.Fields.Count > 0 Then    'there is a field
                If aRng.Fields(1).Type = 3 Then aRng.Font.ColorIndex = wdBlue   'wdFieldRef=3
            Else
                aRng.Font.ColorIndex = wdRed
                ActiveDocument.Comments.Add Range:=aRng, Text:="Missing cross-reference field code"
            End If
            aRng.Collapse 0      'wdCollapseEnd
        Loop
    End With
    Set aRng = Nothing
End Sub

Hi Graham,

Thanks for the help! We're almost there! Unfortunately, it is picking up more than "Section n". I ran the code on a new file and attached it (test_file_gmayor.docm). For example, we got a hit on "Section in-". If you have a moment, could you take a look at page 4, please? There, you'll see where we're getting more than Section n. Any ideas?

Sorry for the trouble, but I really do appreciate the assistance!

Thanks,
Roy
