Please forgive the seemingly silly question, but...

Does anyone know a way to search through a Word document for any/all words
that are capitalized? For example, if I wanted to locate all the acronyms in
a text, such as NATO, DOH, UNICEF, etc.)?

Many thanks for any tips you can offer?

Cheers,

Use Find and Replace. Click the 'More' button, then check the 'Use
Wildcards' checkbox. Search for: [A-Z]{2} to find any sequence of two or
more capital letters.
 
Worked like a charm, Jezebel! Much mahalo (thanks) to you for the quick and
easy resolution to my problem. I never would have figured it out on my own.

You have saved me a considerable amount of time.

Thanks again,
NJM

You have missed a comma
To find sequences of two letters or *more* you need
[A-Z]{2,}
