Duplicates of what? If you are referring to words that you
accidentally typed twice, spell check should do the job. If you don't
have automatic spell check on, simply press F7 to perform a manual
one.

Hi Steve,

Are the paragraphs sorted? Then duplicate paragraphs should be right next
to each other, and you can remove them with a wildcard search such as

Edit > Find, check "Match wildcards",
Find what: (^13[!^13]@){2,}
Replace with: \1
Duplicates and triplicates ... should be removed in one go.

If the list isn't sorted, you could try with
Find what: (^13[!^13]@^13)(*)\1
Replace with: \1\2^p
.... but you may have to repeat that a couple of times.
And the second Find/Replace doesn't find duplicates that are next to each
other, so you should run the first F/R, too.

Regards,
Klaus
