Finding acronyms issue
Hi all,
I am using the 'Find' feature within Word to locate all my acronyms. I am using the following command in Find [A-Z]{2,} That's proved great so far as it finds things like BBC, NBC, etc. However the above doesn't find acronyms which have speechmarks around them, i.e. - 'BBC' 'NBC'. Please can anyone help me with this? Gratefully, Danny |
