Hi 7ajar,

Any particular reason for maintaining the list in Excel, rather than in another Word document (or even a plain text file)?

Whilst retrieving the data from Excel isn't particularly difficult, it adds overheads that can be avoided in the data are in another Word document (or a plain text file).

For an example of reading in a list from another document, see my code at: http://www.vbaexpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34992
