The above website has links to a few different tables of
abbreviations. I want to generate a single text file with all of these
words and abbreviations in the following format:
"WORD", "ABBREVIATION"
"WORD", "ABBREVIATION2"

A few complications:

(1) Some of the WORD's look something like this: "America[n]". When
this appears, I would need two entries as above:
"America", "Am." (the corresponding abbreviation)
"American", "Am."

(2)The Macro should probably get rid of the Letter Tab seperators. 

(3) Some of the WORDs are actually a series of words, so you can't
just search for spaces.

It is also acceptable to just provide me with the list I need in the
proper format. Thanks!

Hi bmaultasch,

Not having found a macro to do the job, I would be willing to do it
manually, if priced accordingly.

Please let me know your views. I then will need to clarify a few other
things before I proceed.

Best regards,
Rainbow
