You'll need to tell us more about how the list is structured. Is it in a
table? Are there tabs between the three parts of each entry? If not tabs, what separator? -- Suzanne S.

Mail merge? This sounds like a Directory Merge - see

The present file is a txt doc. with the comma value as listed ","
The new list needs FIRSTNAME(tab) LASTNAME|EMAIL with one tab between first and last name. Is there a way to auto-format a DOC. so as to covert the first list to the new second list? "Suzanne S.

You can create a table using Table | Convert | Text to Table, separating at
commas and generating three columns. Once you have your three columns, you can arrange the columns themselves in any order you like and sort on the Last Name column if desired. You can then convert the table back to text, separating with tabs, if desired. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks Suzanne I will try this and get back to you with the results. Since
this pertains to a list with over 50,000 names etc. I knew I had to find an easier way to convert to new status. Jackson "Suzanne S.
