I think a better search would be:

Code:
\b([[[:upper:]]-]{2,})\b
That finds words that are only made up of uppercase letters and a hyphen. The minimum length is two letters. I can't get one to match a sentence that only contains uppercase letters. So, dropping the hyphen might make sense an using:

Code:
\b([[:upper:]]{2,})\b
With both, you need the "Case sensitive" option to be turned on.

Then I simply used the "Title-case text" regex function to convert the matched words to title case. That seemed to work in one step for each word. I was able to step through the test book just pressing "Replace and find" with a couple of "Finds" for some acronyms.
