Finding acronyms issue

[Danny boy]

Hi all,

I am using the 'Find' feature within Word to locate all my acronyms. I am
using the following command in Find

<[A-Z]{2,}>

That's proved great so far as it finds things like BBC, NBC, etc. However
the above doesn't find acronyms which have speechmarks around them, i.e. -
'BBC' 'NBC'.

Please can anyone help me with this?

Gratefully,

Danny

You could use
<['A-Z]{3,}
