Edit: Resolved. I will be able to do this with the Macro function in MS Word.

I am trying to make a custom program or script that can find formatting errors in Microsoft Word.

For instance, if in a Word text document, there is are parenthesis with a space on both sides – such as:

[space]([space]

I would just need the script to tell me if that condition exists.

Can anyone help on me accomplishing something like this?

If I can't do it through Simba, how else can I try it? Is there any other similar program online or that I can download?

(I understand there is the Find function in Word; I would like to search multiple conditions at once.)
