1) As it occurs "hundreds of times", you must already
be representing it within your document using a control
word. Re-define the control word as follows :
\def \sau {script.\-aculo.\-us}
Example :
\hsize = 1 in
\raggedright
\def \sau {script.\-aculo.\-us}
{\sau} {\sau} {\sau} {\sau} {\sau} {\sau} {\sau} {\sau} {\sau}
{\sau} {\sau} {\sau} {\sau} {\sau} {\sau} {\sau} {\sau} {\sau}
{\sau} {\sau} {\sau} {\sau}
\end
