HI:

I need a macro that find any repeated consecutive word in a Word =
document. I'm working with large document and sometimes it have (wrong) =
consecutive repeated words, and sometimes it pass the manual revision =
and the final document goes with that repeated words.

I don't need that the macro eliminates the word, just mark it and we =
decide if eliminate it or not.

Any help will be so much apreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Omar

Omar,

The spell checker flags repeated words.

Or you could try "Edit > Find", with ""Use wildcards" checked, and
Find what: (<* ){2}

This would match one or more repeated words, but only if they are followed
by spaces in both instances.
So it would match
"rose is a rose is a"
in
"A rose is a rose is a rose".

(Wildcard searches are always case sensitive)

Matching only repeated single words, and even if one of them is followed by
punctuation, would be harder.
As a first try:
Find what: (<[! ]@>)[.,;/\!\? ]@\1

([! ] matches any character except a space, and "<" and ">" match only at
the start and end of a word; so "<[! ]@>" should match some word.
"[.,;/\!\? ]@" is a list of punctuation characters (where "!" and "?" had to
be "escaped" with a \backslash since they have a special meaning in wildcard
searches).
"\1" repeats the first (bracketed group); so it should match if the word
matched with "(<[! ]@>)" appears once more.

Greetings,
Klaus

HI, KLAUS:

First, thanks for your answer. I will look that and make it run as you
indicate.

Second, I see that you use "Edit", "Find" and so on, and use a string of
characters without any sense for me and for regular users, and the new
question that I have is how can I take a full list of that sequences for
global use, or, in other words, how can I "traduce" my needs to this
particular code.

Any list of sequences or simillar will be so apreciated.

Thank you, again.

Hi Omar,

Sorry, I was a bit terse.

You can find a bit of help on wildcard searches in Word's help ("Search by
using wildcards"). To get you started with a couple of examples, you may
find the article http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/General/UsingWildcards.htm
helpful.

To take the expression I gave apart:

Find what: (<* ){2}

"<" looks for the beginning of a word.
"* " matches any following text (* = any string of arbitrary characters),
ending in a space.
By putting this in brackets "(<* )", you can then search for repetitions of
the bracketed expression.
So "(<* ){2}" will match one or more words ending in a space if they are
repeated 2 times.

Greetings,
Klaus
