Problem

Symptoms: A customer had a list of about 20,000 names. After sorting the list, the customer realized that there were some duplicate names in the list. The customer wanted to remove the duplicate names. Solutions: A customer can use Spell-Check to catch the double words. To avoid being prompted if a word is not found in the dictionary file, the customer can perform the following steps:

1.      Put the list of words in a supplemental dictionary.
2.      Search for the Hard Return [HRt] codes and replace them with spaces.
3.      Run a spell-check. Speller will then stop at the double words.
