Here is one that handles more including multi-word AC entries. It is slow but may be worth using.

Code:

  Sub AutoCorrectBruteReplace2()

      ' rianvillareal 2022-06-11 modified by Charles Kenyon with help by Hans Vogelar to use range and work with selected text
      ' It is slow. Handles multi-word entries. Does not handle fractions
      ' If text is selected, it operates only on selected text
      '       If nothing selected, it operates on entire document
      '
      Dim oEntry As Word.AutoCorrectEntry
      Dim oRng   As range
      Set oRng = Selection.range
      For Each oEntry In AutoCorrect.Entries
          With oRng.Find
              .ClearFormatting
              .Replacement.ClearFormatting
              .Text = oEntry.Name
              .Replacement.Text = oEntry.Value
              .Forward = True
              .Wrap = wdFindStop
              .Format = False
              .MatchCase = False
              .MatchWholeWord = True
              .MatchWildcards = False
              .MatchSoundsLike = False
              .MatchAllWordForms = False
              .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
          End With
      Next
  End Sub
