Default How to search for duplicate words in the same document

Hello,

I have an email list (5 pages long) that is in MS Word '07 and have many
email addresses in there that are repetitive. Is there a way I can search
for all repeated email addresses in my Word document so I can delete them?

The reason I need this is so that I do not send out more than one email to
one address. I am fundraising for charity and am trying to connect with all
my contacts!

Thank you very much for your help!

If the list comprises e-mail addresses one per paragraph, then select and
sort the list (Home Tab Sort)
and use Replace with the wildcard option set to remove the duplicates i.e.
replace

(*^13)@
with
\1

Hi Graham,

Thanks for your reply, but my email list is separated by commas and
semi-colons. Is there another way this can be solved?

Thanks.

Not without replacing the commas and semi-colons with paragraph marks (^p)
first.

Search for a comma and replace with ^p. Then search for a semicolon and
replace with ^p. Or perhaps you should replace the commas with tabs (^t)?
