Post title: With Word

For a rough list of acronyms with capital letters, you can copy and paste the text in MS Word, search with wildcards for <[A-Z]{2;}> (see note below) and replace with just bold formatting, and then search (without wildcards) for non-bold formatting and replace with ^p. That should leave you with just 2-letter or longer words in ALL CAPS with line breaks.

In the regular expression, you may need to use {2,} instead of {2;} depending on your system settings.
