Richard,

Thanks for the advice. I'll take a look at all those scripts.

Dave,

I got my list per the script you created. The results window couldn't display it all, but I get the idea. Is there some way to write a kind of if /then statement that tells it to look at the first so many characters of each line and if it finds a "The " use the fifth character or an open single quote use the second character? It occurs to me that I will not be able to exclude the "A " as I have some product that actually needs that at the beginning, and trying to stipulate the difference wouldn't be worth the effort.

I was able to get the Sort paragraphs script to sort of work after I trashed my prefs. However, after letting it run unmolested for an entire hour, I cancelled it, and it had only sorted the first 50 lines or so out of over 500 lines.
