Just drag and drop your input file over this batch script and you will get a new file with the same word separated by a colon :

@echo off
Mode 70,3 & color 0A
Title Find lines have the similar words separated by a colon
set "ScriptName=%~nx0"
if "%~1"=="" goto error
echo(
echo      Find lines have the similar words separated by a colon
Set "OutputFile=newfile.txt"
If exist "%OutputFile%" Del "%OutputFile%"
for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=:" %%a in ('Type %1') do (
    If [%%a]==[%%b] echo %%a:%%b
)>>"%OutputFile%"
Start "" "%OutputFile%" & Exit
