tool 2 check doc 4 duplicate words/entries?
copied and pasted from various sources onto a Word doc. I know there are
duplicate entries and without printing a very long document, I would like to know if there is a tool that will ck. for similar or exact entries, and if so...how does it call the duplication out? In other words...does it underline the duplicate so I can delete the underlined portion? P.S. deadline!!!no time to research!!! |

Exactly what do you mean by duplicate entries? The same two words together
in the one spot? How similar is "similar"? -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

You could compare two documents and if the document was a list you could
find duplicate entries in a list, but the only way to search a single document for 'similar' entries is to read it yourself. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org esprit texas wrote: "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: Exactly what do you mean by duplicate entries?

" similar " enough in "meaning" for myself, as I was copying and psting from (2) different HELP sources ( updating drivers) and their wording was almost identical in most cases but one would add additional info that was helpful. I am just trying to cut down on redundancy and confusion and it is hard to do so on the screen page by page and without printing out a large document (limited ink and paper). Hope I am doing this right!! It is my first attempt at a discussion group of any kind. Hope you're patient! Thanks for you're time! |
