Keyword acronyms

If you want to create a keyword that contains an acronym that is pronounced as separate letters, enter the acronym with either periods or spaces between letters.

Examples:

• U S A

• F.B.I.

• I D

• E.T.A.

• E U

• C.O.D.

• H T T P

• F.T.P.

For acronyms that are pronounceable as a word, enter the acronym as you would any other keyword without spaces or periods between letters. Letter case is not important.

Examples:

• SCSI (scuzzy)

• RAM

• PIN

• NASA

• SCUBA

In the case of mixed pronunciation acronyms, such as DVD-ROM, you must enter the acronym so that the portion pronounced as letters contain spaces or periods between letters while the portion pronounced as a single word does not, as in the following example:

D.V.D. ROM
