How can I use the search function one Microsoft Word or Excel to
search for any letter or number that is between other letters or
numbers? Example, I would like to find all letters or numbers that are
between two X's.

To find a single character between X and X, try X?X. In Word, you have
to turn on the Use Wildcards option. To find any group of characters
between X and X, try X*X.

You need to use MS Word Regular Expressions.
