Is there some way to mark acronyms in an 80-pg document to generate an
automatic list of them?

Try This:

Do a find/Replace with wildcards:
Find [A-Z]{2,}
This is Beginning of word, at least 2 chars A-Z, end of word
Replace with:
~^p^&^p and a unique style not found in document. (the tilde is an unused
character in document) (I use Body Text 2)
Then do a Find ~^p style Body Text 2
Replace with ^p style Normal.

The result is a paragraph with each acronym with a unique style.

Then Insert a List of figures at the top of the document using Style Body
Text 2.
Copy the TOC, sort and delete duplicates.
