This is a great idea. Thx.
A similar approach, used a lot in U.S. government documents, is to state the
acronym in parentheses immediately after the first use and then just use the
acronym throughout the rest of the document as if everyone knows what it means.
(i.e., "When setting up the Really Big Widget (RBW) the first thing to do is .
.. .. and then later . . . When troubleshooting the RBW you need to keep in
mind
that . . . )
Of course in really big government documents they also have an acronym page to
keep track of all of them.

Subject: Useful Typing Shortcuts
To the group,
While the thread "Re:Typing Shortcuts" is quite interesting and
entertaining, there is a typing shortcut that is very useful when typing
test reports. Instead of repeatedly typing some long title such as "Really
Big Widget" you just type "RBW" throughout the report. Later you you use the
word processor's search and replace function to substitute the actual text.
I find that it saves me hundreds of keystrokes in a typical report.
