Is there a way to search for acronyms in Word?
I want to create an acronym list derived from about 200 individual documents.
Is there a way to search in WORD for acronyms - let's assume that I am searching for a minumum of 3 capitol letters in a row. Also, I am looking for acronyms, I am not searching for already known terms. The regular search and replace function requires me to enter what I am looking for. Or, do I just do a spell check and find them by their not being in the dictionary that I am using. Any help would be wonderful. Thanks Don |

Thanks Don Hi Don, Use a wildcard search (see http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Genera...gWildcards.htm or http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm). The expression [A-Z]{3,} will find any sequence of three or more capital letters. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
