• In the standard bar go to Tools
• Go to AutoCorrect Options
• Check the correction as you type
• Set in cell replace: CPU (syntax does not matter)
• Set in the cell by: Central Processing Unit
• Click on the Add button and click OK

It should be OK, when writing the text,if the word CPU is entered press the space bar, it will be automatically replaced by Central Processing Unit.

The operation can be performed as you type by selecting a word:

• Go to AutoCorrect Options
• The word should be already in the cell
• We have to put in the cell you want to replace the abbreviation
• Finally, click on the Add button and click OK

Insert a symbol in word

1. Click where you want to insert the symbol.
2. On the Insert tab, in the Symbols group, click Symbol.
3. Do one of the following:

• Click the symbol that you want in the drop-down list.
• If the symbol that you want to insert is not in the list, click More Symbols. In the Font box, click the font that you want, click the symbol that you want to insert, and then click Insert.

Note If you are using an expanded font, such as Arial or Times New Roman, the Subset list appears. Use this list to choose from an extended list of language characters, including Greek and Russian (Cyrillic), if available.

4. Click Close.

Also a tool to Find and Replace Words in many files in batch can work well.

One of them which seems quite capable can be found in this link
