Aplicação para detecção de frases duplicadas num documento do Word?

Answer 1

There are two articles on the Word MVP website that contain macros for deleting duplicate paragraphs (not sentences or phrases) within the active document:

Delete duplicate paragraphs using a Range object
https://wordmvp.com/FAQs/MacrosVBA/DeleteParaRnge.htm
Delete duplicate paragraphs using a Selection object
https://wordmvp.com/FAQs/MacrosVBA/DeleteParaSel.htm

They differ only in the technical detail that the first one uses a Range object and the second one uses the Selection object. The Selection is visible on the screen, while a Range object is not visible.

The macros both assume that the duplicate paragraph occurs immediately after the first one, which is probably not what you are looking for. Finding a duplicate that occurs later in the document would require a slightly more complicated code. Also, both of the macros immediately delete the duplicates, and don't pause to let you see what was found. That could be modified as well.

Answer 2

Only the similarity checker in Word is documented for detecting text that matches online sources, not for detecting duplicated sentences inside a single document.

To use the similarity checker in Word for Microsoft 365, Word for Microsoft 365 for Mac, or Word for the web:

1. Open the document in Word.
2. On the Home tab, select Editor.
3. In the Editor pane, scroll down to Similarity and select Check for similarity.
4. After the check completes, Word shows the percentage of content that matches online text and the number of passages found.
5. Select Similarities reviewed to go through each passage and, if needed, insert citations or ignore specific matches.

This feature is intended for checking similarity to online sources rather than internal duplicates, but it is the only similarity-detection functionality described in the available documentation.
