I want to auto expand text like BP = blood pressure

[Pegleg1980]

I am a medical transcriptionist and would like have word auto expand words by
typing an acronym...like BP expands to blood pressure or PERRLA expands to
pupils equal, round, reactive to light and accomodation. I remember word
perfect used to do it.....does word have the same function?
