In Word 2002 is there a way to check a document for duplicate entries? I have a collection of quotes and want to check for any duplication.

You could try a Find and see if there are any instances of a key word in thw quote.

eg: "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."

You could then search for "rose" or "smell" and find any instances of those unusual words.
