Default Acronym Finder Macro for Microsoft Word

Hello all,

I'm new to this and just have a quick request if that's okay . I'm looking for a macro the finds acronyms in a document and puts them in a table that is already located at the bottom of the document.
  • The first thing to do would be to look at the document and at the table. If an acronym in the table IS NOT in the document, delete that row.
  • Next, search the document for new acronyms. An acronym in this case consists of AT LEAST two capital letters in the whole word AND it is defined inside parentheses. If those cases are true, then the whole word in the parentheses is an acronym (i.e. SyDD and MHz are considered acronyms). Each acronym found should be added to the table in alphabetical order.
  • If an acronym is added, it should be said so in a message box that pops up. That way, the user can add descriptions as necessary.

I understand this may be a difficult request, but if there are any questions, comments, or concerns, I'm here!

Thanks!
