A window shows up and I type in the word I want to search, then hit find. I watch the page numbers to determine how close together these repetitious words or phrases are. It really helps!

Reading out loud really makes a difference. Find and Replace is a God send. I have read books where all the characters sound alike. Generally, don't finish those. I find it frustrating when female characters dialogue sounds too masculine because the author is male. Male authors need woman to proof those words and female authors need men to ensure their dialogue is male enough. Loved this post. Reading out loud really makes a difference.
