Find uppercase letter groups (acronyms)

[Taylor]

I have a doc riddled with acronyms. Is there a way to search for groups of
random capitalized letters so I can check all the acronyms in the doc to make
sure they are defined in the acro list at the end?

Hi,

You can try this,

Edit -- > Find

and then give search text as (<[A-Z]@>)

then select Use Wildcards. And then click Find, This will show you group of
upper case letters.

Soundar.

I couldn't get this to work in Word 2007, can you clarify or expand on the
technique?
Thanks,

Ctrl-F
In the Find What? box, type (or copy-paste) the formula shown below
click More
check Use Wildcards
click Find What?

It finds any number of capital letters.
