finding duplicate entries in pages doc...

If the email addresses are all that is in the document, they are in a list, and you also have Numbers, the following will work:

• Select all of the list. Copy
• Launch Numbers and open a new, blank document.
• Click on cell B2 of the table in Numbers. Paste.
  Your addresses should fill column B, with rows added to the table as necessary.
• Enter this formula into C2: =IF(COUNTIF($B$1:B2,B2)>1,"DUP","")
  (The result in C2 should appear to be an empty cell.)
• Click on the Column Reference tab for column C to select the whole column, then
  Command-click on cell C1 to remove it from the selection.
• Go Insert (menu) > Fill > Fill Down.
  Your table will now resemble this one, with duplicate entries marked in column C:
  
• With column C still selected, Copy, then go Edit > Paste Values.
  This replaces the formulas in column C with the values calculated by that formula.
• Click the Reorganize button, then in the Sort section, choose Column C.
  The table will be sorted, bringing all the DUP entries together at the top of the table.
• Select all of the rows containing DUP (Click on the Row Reference tab of the first, then shift-click on the Row reference tab of the last) to select all of the rows containing duplicate addresses.
• Go Table > Delete Rows.
• Select the column containing the email addresses. Copy.
• Return to the Pages document. Paste.
• Done

FK,

Paste Values only exists explicitly in Numbers. You get Paste Values when the context dictates in Pages.

In Numbers you must choose:

You should have put them in a spreadsheet/table, sort them and then run your eyes down the list. They stick out.
