Not sure there's an easy way within writer - although obviously you could write a macro, it might take a while. If you have access to a *nix box (or cygwin), it's a one-line no- brainer from the shell (sort -u) to do this to a text file, always assuming you don't mind the list being sorted. Otherwise it's pretty trivial in perl to write a script that will maintain the ordering (probably a one-liner again). -- Permission for this mail to be processed by any third party in connection with marketing or advertising purposes is hereby explicitly denied. http://www.scottsonline.org.uk lists incoming sites blocked because of spam [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
