Finding overused words

To avoid repetition of words in your writing, Selenium includes technology to help you identify words you use frequently.

To find overused words:

Step 1

Select the project whose words you wish to analyze in the light blue project list at the left of the window. (You may need to drag the split view divider to the right of the window to view the project list)

Step 2

Choose Window > Text Tools, or press Control Option T.

Step 3

A floating window will appear. Click the Overused Words button on the gray bar beneath the toolbar. Then, click the "Update" button in the toolbar.

Step 4

After a few seconds to a few minutes, dependent upon the size of the content, a list of words will appear in the table. The larger the green bar, the more often the word is used.

You can double click on any word to look up alternatives in the thesaurus. To sort the words by usage, click the table column header labeled "Usage".
