Hi,

I am in the final stages of editing my very first manuscript and, over the past 6 months, may have repeated several phrases throughout my text. The manuscript is about 400 pages long. Now, some of these phrases are a little obvious to find and replace/re-purpose/delete, but I am having trouble going through the entire material.

I have tried out several suggested solutions. With [1], I kept receiving compile and error handling errors, among others. [2] only generated a word frequency report that run 300+ pages long. [3] is not particularly helpful neither.

Would it be possible to automatically highlight these sections, leaving me the task of editing the material...? I would appreciate any help in that regard.

PS: I am using 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate (MS Word 2007).

PSS: Also, a total VBA noob. My technical chops are, frankly, non-existent. But I would be willing to apply myself to diligently follow any proposed solutions.

PSSS: [4] is somewhat related.
