I have a document with many acronyms that need to be captured and put into an acronyms table at the end of the document.
The term acronym has various meanings. I'd like to create a table that has all of the words that are initialized; two or more capitalized letters that are short for a longer meaning. I.e., CD-ROM, USB, SYNC, MMR, ASCAP, etc.
How do I create a macro to do this?
Something like this might get you started. Add a reference to "Microsoft VBScript Regular Expressions" (Edit Macro: Tools > References). This library is the file, "vbscript.dll".
You may need to adjust the regexp if all your acronyms aren't only upper-case letters (eg some may contain numbers).
