There might be another way to get each name on its own line, but here is how I've done it in the past with using search and replace. Select all of the text. Go to the edit menu and arrow down to replace and press enter. Note: these next few steps are a little confusing, so I hope you will be able to understand what I am explaining. tab to MORE. Press Space to select. Tab until you find Special. Down arrow until you find Manual line break Press enter. NOTE: This has placed the special character for the manual line break into the find edit box. This is not where you want it, so follow the below directions to fix this. Tab to the find edit box where you will find a carrot L. Select all, and Copy. Tab to the Replace edit box, and paste the carrot L into it. Shift Tab back to the find edit box. Type comma and then space in this box. This is what currently exists in your file and you want to replace it with the line break. Now tab to Replace All. You will be told how many replacements have been completed. Press space on the OK button to close this dialog box. If everything went well, you should have a list of the names. I hope this works for you.

I remember a friend telling me that there's a way to do it automatically in Microsoft word, but after looking around I only found one place that says auto numbering, but I can't seam to make it work. Is there a way of doing it? My second question is, I get a list of names separated with a comma but there are several names to a line. I can remove the commas by using word replacement, but is there a way to have word, after each comma start a new line so I get just one name per line? I'm using Microsoft word 2006 Any help would be appreciated Brian Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Visit the Blind Computing home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/blind-computing@jaws-users.com/ To post to this group, send email to blind-computing@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/BlindComputing.php If you wish to join the JAWS Users List send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Visit the Blind Computing home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/blind-computing@jaws-users.com/ To post to this group, send email to blind-computing@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/BlindComputing.php If you wish to join the JAWS Users List send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Visit the Blind Computing home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/blind-computing@jaws-users.com/ To post to this group, send email to blind-computing@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/BlindComputing.php If you wish to join the JAWS Users List send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
