Thumbs up Answer: Remove duplicate text lines in a Word doc

How to Remove Duplicate Text Lines in Word
  1. Open your Word document.
  2. Press Ctrl + H to open the Find and Replace dialog box.
  3. In the "Find what" field, type the text you want to search for (e.g. the duplicated text line).
  4. In the "Replace with" field, leave it blank.
  5. Click on the "More " button to expand the dialog box.
  6. Click on the "Format" button and select "Font" from the drop-down menu.
  7. In the "Font" dialog box, select the "Hidden" checkbox and click "OK".
  8. Click on the "Replace All" button.

This will remove all the duplicated text lines from your document. The hidden text will still be there, but it won't be visible. If you want to make the hidden text visible, you can do so by going to the "Home" tab, clicking on the "Show/Hide" button (the one that looks like a paragraph mark), and selecting the "Hidden text" checkbox.
