If you have a paragraph mark after word3 and word 6, you could temporarily
create a table, then delet the last column, then revert back to text. Table menu, Text to Table, Separate text at: Other, : Number of columns should change to 3.

For Text to Table, click the Insert ribbon tab, click the dropdown arrow
under Table, then click Convert Text to Table. When a table is selected, the Table Tools Design and Layout tabs are available. These provide access to what the Tables toolbar formerly provided. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "jan" wrote in message ...
