Repeated word count in MSWord to find how many times words repeat

[mladines04]

There should be a way to find out how many times words are repeated. I run
across the problem of trying not to repeat a synonym I've used in a previous
paragraph or sentence, and always have to double check that I haven't used
the same prepositions or words too many times.

The word repeat count would give a summary of the top 10 (or 20, 25, etc.)
words used and the number of times they are used in the entire paper. Also,
there would be an option to count or not count articles (the, a, an, etc.).

A tool like this would help students and professionals alike.
