When writing long, complex documents, or writing a document over a number of days, you can get ‘snowblind’ and end up repeating text yourself without knowing it.
Luckily there is a way to check that these repetitions don’t creep into your document. To find places where you may have repeating words, follow these steps:
From the Edit menu, select Find and then open the Replace tab.
In the Find box, enter the word you want to check.
In the Replace box, type ^& (press shift 6 to get the ^ character). This tells Word to find the word but not to replace it. 
Click Replace All.
The results tell you how many times the word has been used.
