acronyms
Has anyone found a way to collect all the acronyms used in a document and put
them in a glossary or appendix when you're finished with the doc? I'd like to have something like way you can collect the ToC but for acronyms. It's not like we live in an acronym free world anymore. |

Nothing automatic, but have you considered using an index? Create an XE
field for each acronym on first appearance and use a "cross-reference" instead of a page number. To do this, select the abbreviation, press Alt+Shift+X, click the radio button for "Cross-reference," and type the expanded term in place of "See." If you will have another index in the document, add an identifier switch to these XE fields so that you can build a separate index from just these entries. -- Suzanne S.
