Checking Text sizes

We are a Newspaper printer and as such follow the SNAP 2007 standards for Artwork preparation. I have been trying to setup PitstopPro to be able to check PDFs for the following:

1) Single color (only one separation color) text minimum size = 7pt
2) Multi-color text (2 or more separations) minimum size = 12pt
3) White reversed text on single-color background minimum size = 10pt
3) White reversed text on multi-color (2 or more separations) background minimum size = 12pt

I have made "checklists" for the first two, but I cannot find a way to check 3) and 4). If I use 0 or more separations, it picks up single color type etc, is there something I am missing?

The other two are not reliably possible at the moment, we can get close with the geomapper technology.
But we can't define the specific object underneath that interacts with the white text.
It's on the list.

Great, thanks. I had hoped there was some way to select by fill color and monitor the size, regardless of the background object. I'd actually settle for combining both the searches into one, white text on any background, with a selectable minimum point size.
