How large is your document? If it were me, I might use Search &
Replace to replace all spaces with a paragraph mark, then
alphabetically sort the list that you get. Then, you could scan the
list.
Before you do the Search/Replace & Sort, you might also want to
replace all articles (a, an, the...) with "nothing" so that these would
be removed. Otherwise, it would REALLY be a big list (it's going to
be big anyway...)

Should I include a "please be kind" trailer here so I don't get 50
"boy, this is a stupid idea" emails? :)
