Thanks for the quick response. I get the latter part, but reading the text
from MS word into R is problematic. I am able to read in (scan) all unique
elements (following sep=" ") from the text, but unable to past everything
together again. Any id on how to solve this? It looks like this now: 

text<-scan("test.txt", character(0), sep = " ")

> text
 [1] "Most"            "fundamentally,"  "it"              "has"            
 [5] "led"             "to"              "an"              "effort"         
 [9] "to"              "clarify"         "the"             "organizational" 
[13] "form"            "concept."        "According"       "to"             
[17] "them"            "[see"            "also"            "Smith,"         
[21] "Jones"           "and"             "Carroll"         "2002],"         
[25] "categories"      "emerge"          "as"              "audience"       
[29] "members"         "recognize"       "dissimilarities" "among"          
[33] "groups"          "of"              "consumers"       "and"            
[37] "label"           "them"            "as"              "members"        
[41] "of"              "a"               "common"          "set"            
[45] "[Nicol"          "2000]."
