Looking for a way to find all instances of a single letter (variable) with spaces around.

Copper Contributor

For example, typing and a letter gets m isplaced. I would want to find where this happens, as the M is not picked up as a problem in spellcheck. I want to find any instances, of ANY letter, that has a space on either side of it. (even if it comes up with a lot of "I" entries.)

 

Is this possible, through wildcards or any other solution?

 

Thanks for your thoughts.

@four_dimensional Use a wild card search with
space[A-z]{1}space

in the Find what control, using the spacebar where space is shown above.

@Doug_Robbins_Word_MVP Thanks a lot, that was exactly what I needed. I now use 

space[bcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ]{1}space to search.  Badass!!
