Hi Andrew, many thanks for this revised code, this is really start to take shape now. I have also inserted some code for the table to have no border. Our house style requires the separate rows so many thanks for that coding it works. I have a further macro that updates (a), (A) etc. to the correct auto number style which will be called at the end of this macro.

House style requires square brackets to be in form fields which is an action I usually perform right at the end of converting so not needed for this macro.

I've run the macro several times and it seems the only command left to perform is to delete any periods at the end of sentences in column 2 and replace with a semi-colon, or where punctuation is missing at the end of the sentence to insert a semi-colon (except where there are colons) except for the words 'and', 'or', 'but', 'then'. Any ideas how I can insert this into the code?
