Hello, is there a function to delete all similar words in a text? I mean, rather than erasing them one by one
For example, I have a file where there is a name that repeats several times and I would like to delete it all at once instead of wasting a lot of time deleting them one by one, but I believe there is a method for that?
Thank you.

Hello,
I tried it on Writer (Open Office), but the same principle applies to Word.
"Find and replace"
Leave the "replace" field blank. Click "Replace all".
However, in the "Find" field, I had to put a space before the word to be searched; otherwise, it produces an extra space in place of the deleted word.
Check what the situation is.
In any case, it worked like this for me.
I apologize if this is not necessary for Word.
