#Else

    dList.SetText ActiveDocument.Range.Text
    dList.PutInClipboard
    MsgBox "Now paste the clipboard content to https://www.random.org/lists/." & _
           "Copy the result to the clipboard and run Macro2"
    Call NewShell("https://www.random.org/lists/", 3)

    Exit Sub

Sub Macro2()
Dim oPara As Paragraph
Dim i As Long
    ActiveDocument.Range.Paste
    ActiveDocument.Range.Style = "Normal"
    For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.Paragraphs.Count / 2
        Set oPara = ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(i)
        If LCase(oPara.Range.Characters(1)) = "a" Or _
           LCase(oPara.Range.Characters(1)) = "e" Then
            oPara.Range = Replace(oPara.Range, Chr(13), ", ")
            'or without the comma as in your sample
            'oPara.Range = Replace(oPara.Range, Chr(13), ", ")
        End If
    Next i
lbl_Exit:
    Set oPara = Nothing
    Exit Sub
End Sub

Private Sub NewShell(cmdLine As String, lngWindowHndl As Long)
    ShellExecute lngWindowHndl, "open", cmdLine, "", "", 1
lbl_Exit:
    Exit Sub
End Sub
It doesn't seem to work.

Is it not possible that one script will work??
