Find [ or ] but not [ ]

[billob]

I need to know how to find [ ] with their enclosed content which is always 2
- 10 characters. If there are any unclosed [ or unpoened ] I want WORD 2003
FIND to tell me where they are.

I have a large document with about 2000 ] and 1999 [. I am trying to locate
the site of the missing character.

Use a wildcard search for
\[[a-z ]{2,10}[!\]]
which will find all lower case characters and spaces numbering between 2 and
10 not terminated by a bracket. You can add to the search list according to
what the brackets may contain. See
