      It is possible to remove duplicates in several ways in Microsoft Office 2007.

      You can either remove rows containing duplicate values or highlight them, so you can delete them manually.
      Please note that Excel 2007 does not allow you to review data deleted by using Remove Duplicates tool. To review data use Conditional Formatting tool to highlight and delete data manually.

      To highlight the duplicate values and delete the data manually:

      1. Click in left top corner of your worksheet to select all cells (you can also select the column you want to check for duplicates)
