Smart Tags for Acronyms

[bassplr19]

I want to use smart tags to highlight acronyms (specific to my company) in
Word documents. I can't believe there isn't an easy (free) way to do this. I
don't have Visual Studio to write code to create smart tags. Any thoughts?

There is a pre-programmed mechanism called MOSTL (Microsoft Office Smart
Tag Lists) that lets you add simple terms and lookup actions without
having to write VB/Csharp type code (but you still have to write XML code!)

Unfortunately, I can't find a particularly good reference to point you
to - my own material was published as part of a Microsoft Press book (in
German); typing "smart tag" in Word 2007 help provides no references at
all, which may give you a clue about how Microsoft views this
technology; How about
