Hi Pak,
You don't mention which module that you're entering the list into. If
it's calc, just sort the list and enter a formula in the next column
that will return the cell contents if the entry below is different,
nothing if it's the same. Then copy that column and use 'edit / paste
special / text' to copy the results into a new column. If you compiling
the list in writer, copy and paste it into a spreadsheet, do the above,
and paste the results back into writer. Here's a formula that will work:
=if(a1=a2;"";a1)

I am using version 2.0 of OpenOffice. My problem is that I don't know
how to search for duplicate words throughout the entire text. I am
writing a very long list of attributes (for a certain present) but am
almost sure I will use the same word again somewhere. How do I check
for this? If there is no direct method, is there another I could use,
such as the word replacement function in the spelling tool as in
Microsoft Office? thank you so much!!!
