Default How to create an automatic Acronym List?

So long as you acronyms are all caps and 3 or more letters long, you can use
Find function with [A-Z]{3,} in the find box.
I tend to also have the Highlight all items found in: Main Document
selected, then once all occurances are found, I clcik on the Word window but
not in the text area so the selection is not lost, Copy. Then paste
unformatted text into a new temp document the list of items found. This list
can now be edited and used to create a Acronm list.
I am sure someone else will have a "Carlos Fandango" macro add-in that will
do this as well. Lets hope :-)
Hope this helps

Can you please help me by pointing out that best way to do it?.

Thank you very much for your attention.
