Note that you need to have "Use wildcards" checked. So basically it matches anything within the parenthesis. Next, "(*)" tells Word to find one or more words after the opening parenthesis, and finally "\)" the search pattern ends when it encounters closing parenthesis (requires an escape character). Here the first "\" is escape character, this tells Word to treat the next character "(", as-is i.e., find a opening parenthesis in the document. I decided to highlight all the authors using regular expressions. One problem: there were way too many citations! It was hard for me to distinguish authors and normal text. They wanted me to look for the authors (citations) within the text and add correct reference in the “references” section. One example, I was recently given a 10 page document to edit and incorporate citations.
Office 2013 offers robust regular expression matching, that will be very handy to do some basic stuff.
