tool 2 check doc 4 duplicate words/entries?

[esprit texas]

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"?

" similar " enough in "meaning" for myself, as I was copying and psting from (2) different HELP sources (re: 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!

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.
