That worked perfectly! WOW you are amazing!

Next question-final for this project (I hope).

I do the search, it highlights all the names as you instructed. I want to cut/paste, but for some reason when I go from "Search" back to document, I control C, it does not cut the highlighted selection.

Can you tell me what I am doing incorrectly?

Thanks so much you are TERRIFIC!

Thanks for the tip-each "first name" is followed by a paragraph mark.

the exact format is:
*lastname (including Jr, III, etc), First name(paragraph)

using wildcards, you cannot search for a "paragraph mark". So you have to
use the code ^013.

Find | Find what:
\*(*)^013
[= asterix, 0 or more characters, paragraph mark]
Find in: Main document

Now all occurances of "*...........¶" are selected, and you can copy them.
