I have a 2006 "Acronym List Generator and Maintainer RevE" that I picked up along the way years ago. It's a .doc with a button inside that activates the macro. It extracts acronyms and their definitions from a target Word doc and appears to work fine in desktop Word 365. It steps through found acronyms and their definitions one by one, allowing alterations, and creates a 2-column table in a new doc.



I just wonder if anyone knows of an updated free (or very inexpensive, not the $85-and-up commercial programs) such utility that does not require stepping through each one but compiles all into a table, leaving it to the user to review the selections in the new table. In very long technical documents with lots of acronyms, this could be a significant time saver.

All I find in searches is acronym finders, either the wildcard find version for 2 or more adjacent caps, but the definitions then need to be supplied.
