If the lists were in Excel it would be pretty easy.
Moving tables between Word and Excel isn't too painful.
That's one possible approach

Hi Whirlers,

Working in Word 2010 on Win7.

I'm working with multiple documents each having a local Acronym list (2-column table, acro/definition) that is largely a small subset of an external master Acronym document, also in Word, also 2-column table. Sometimes extra terms are added for the local doc but for purposes here these don't matter since they're not in the master.

Often the local list gets munged relative to the master list: mostly wrong expansions, sometimes wrong capitalization, other minor problems.

Currently I must validate each entry manually.
