Multi-select and edit/duplicate/delete abbreviation dictionary entries

[wayfaringrob]

I have an abbreviation table imported that I realized I would like to enter twice as both keywords and endings rather than translations since I don't want the state names abbreviated all the time -- only when they don't fit. However, there is no way to select multiple entries to copy them or modify the type -- you have to do them one at a time. I could modify the original Excel table, but then I'd have to go to the trouble of using the refresh excel GP tool and re-importing; or, I could export to Excel, edit there, and start over. It would be much easier if the abbreviation dictionary interface allowed for batch selection/editing/duplicating.
