Default Fussy check of cell contents


Hi

Can anybody help me in following task...

I want check/compare two cells containing alpha numeric sentences. If
the cells are having more than 3 words in common or the meaning of the
cells is same irrespective of the words then it sould return some thing
like 'DUP' in the corresponding row
A B
C
1 depth of 3 metres depth of 3 metres
Dup
7 decimetres 7decimetres

2. daybeacon BnOr daybeacon BnOr
Dup

3. the legend of lights F.R. the legend of lights F.R. Not
duplicate
35m by Q.R. 35m 6M by Q.R. 7M point (a)
eventhough

few words are same

4. obstructions 5.1 Obstn obstructions 3.5 Obstn Not Dup

5. light to, Fl(3)10s17M light to, Fl(3)10s17M Dup (B5 is
same

as A5 with additional

info)

so the required function/macro should think and decide the
duplication.
Is that possible... if so kindly help me out...
