This isn't particularly new or unique, but I like using the Find feature to check for several things in the Revision stage. Including repetitious words. For instance, I once read a novel where the word "curt," or forms of the word ("curtly")were used so often, it became like a game--"How soon until the author uses it again?" or "How many 'curts' in this chapter?" Very distracting for the reader. Once you become aware of words that you tend to overuse, Find can help you weed them out.Alan Ohttp://www.tiptoeingontheedge.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
