searching for repeated words

Is there a way to search a large document for repeated words (similar to Spellcheck), or to have them highlighted (like when a word is misspelled)?

I know Microsoft Document used to highlight repeated words, but I can't seem to find that function on Pages...

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

GP,

Use: Edit > Proofreading > Proofreader... It will find all manner of suspect grammatical constructs, including doubled words. Unfortunately you can't limit the search to doubled words. Then again, it might not be a bad idea to review all the suggestions anyway.

I'm unaware of such a feature.

The only thing I could find would be to take the manual approach with the Edit/Find options and do a find-and-replace.
