Thanks, Chris. Unfortunately, the email addresses are not on lines
by themselves, so "Process lines containing..." copies all of the
data on the line. The result is simply a copy of the original
document. Strictly speaking, although I view it with soft wrap, it's
all one line, since there are no returns in this document. Any other
suggestions?
Why not find >...< and replace it with a new line? That will leave
you with the text up to the first address, the addresses (each on a
line), and the text after the last address (on its own line). You can
then manually remove the two text blocks and you're done.
