Default Find only repeated words

Hello everyone

Is there a search string or a macro that will find and/or highlight all repeated words? I know that repeated words are flagged during spell-check but I want to look for ONLY repeated words. By "repeated words" I mean words that repeat next to each other, e.g. "the" in "paris in the the spring".

Thanks
Samuel

You could use a wildcard Find, where:
Find = (<*>) \1
to find repeated word and repeated phrases
