How do I search for abbreviations in Word ?

[Guest]

I have a word document in which there are a lot of technical abbreviations.
Now I'd like to find all of the abbreviations in order to create a list for
explaining these abbreviations. Is there a way to search for example for
words with two or more upper case letters after one another? Or another way
to find the abbreviations? I couldn't come up with a "Find" function to do
this. Maybe if I wrote a macro of some kind?
Thanks for all the help before hand.

To find 'words' that begin wih two uppercase letters, check "Use wildcards"
and find "<[A-Z][A-Z]" (without the quotes). To find them in the middle of a
word is slightly more complex.

Tony,
This little gem saved me a bunch of time, Thank you.
I have an additional question for you. Is there a way of auto extracting the
highlighted data to a separate location?
