Lisa,
The document I am editing is a technical specification for an automotive
component. The types of acronyms I am looking to find are for instance
"GPS"(which stands for Global Positioning System). The unfortunate thing is
that the only characteristic of the items I'm looking for is that there are
at least 2 captial letters side by side. The other bad thing is that there
are heading styles that use this type of formatting that I would not want as
part of the returned list. So I guess another characteristic is that the
text should not be a heading style. Someone (Ray Blake) suggested using the
Font, All Caps identifier in the Find dialog. That doesn't work because the
font has to be identified as All Caps as part of its style. None of the
acronyms I'm trying to find have that characteristic.
Thanks,
Tony >From: "Green" <1z@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Reply-To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >To:
