If the list ist very long, you could insert it into an own document and link it as a section (insert/section:Link...) into the final document. So you can mark the whole list in the seperate document with CTRL+A If the situation is different (not one word per line), describe more details. -- _________________________________________________________________________ Claudia --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
