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! |

sort the list (Home Tab Sort) and use Replace with the wildcard option set to remove the duplicates i.e. replace (*^13)@ with \1 -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org SAM049 wrote: 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.

How to search for duplicate words in the same document
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.

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)? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "SAM049" wrote in message ...
