Harold: Because the description is of a variable length, and hence the url may start in a different position on each line, the only solution I see is to write a Word macro that would search for the string that starts with http:// and then move the full url (a string that starts with http:// and ends with a space or null) to the beginning of the line programmatically.
Perhaps someone else has a "non macro" solution.

Hi again ... I'm getting some personal responses that would indicate that my first posting was not clear. So as a past president used to say, "Let me make myself perfectly clear" ... then he resigned from office. I'm using MSWord and I have a list, let�s say three lines in the list (actually a lot more). What each line consists of is a text, space, three dots, space, URL. � A short version would look like this (these are not the actual URL's): This is General Motors ... http://www.gm.com This is IBM ... http://www.ibm.com This is Ford cars ... http://www.ford.com/ And what I want to so is (withOUT working on any individual line, dragging, etc.) switch the text with the URL so the list would look like this: http://www.gm.com ... This is General Motors http://www.ibm.com ... This is IBM http://www.ford.com/ ... This is Ford cars I can take care of the dots and spaces; that's the easy part. I'm wondering if the Find/Replace feature (with the accompanying More/Special tabs) can be used to do the trick. If not, is there another way of making these changes?
