Acronym Finder

[Cray_Z]

I have made use of the code listed in this thread: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...soft-word.html
and it works quite well. My interest is to not use a table that is part of the current document but instead I want to make use of an existing, stand-alone, Glossary that gets editted. The existing glossary is a word document (.docx) of our master list of acronyms with definitions (delimited with tab stops).

Is it possible to perform the same type of checking for new and deletions of non-existent acronyms using a word document versus the table?

Your assistance is greatly appreciated as I am a complete novice to macros.
