I’m relatively new to ooS, but I am not finding a key word in the usual Help.
I have a single column on a spreadsheet with some 8000 entries.  Many of the entries are duplicate words, some with variations on capitalizations.  I want to relist that one column to show only a single entry for each word.  That is, I want to consolidate the entries so that I have only one entry for each of the words in the column.  Again, that is if I have the word ‘metal’ listed 10 times, I want a new list with that word, ‘metal’,  only once.  
I see that there are pro programs to buy but my use is one time and I think I remember that there is some formula.  
Thanks for any advice.
