Is there a way to derive the abbreviation from their full words spelling?

Hi Jamal,

To do this properly would require a macro, plus a lookup list containing the expressions and their acronyms. Amongst other things, such a macro could ensure the first instance of 'National Spatial Plan' appears as 'National Spatial Plan (NSP)' and thereafter as 'NSP', even if the first instance in the document was incorrectly written as 'NSP' (eg because text was moved around during editing). No autocorrect function could do that.
