    I have a word doc with a list of 150 names. I need to get each into double-quotes. Is there a quick way ?

    Or if I put them into Excel is there a way ........

    Cheers, scratching my head.

    You can do it in Notepad++ (free to download if you don't have it) if you use find and replace with regular expression.

    Find \r\n
    Replace "\r\n"

    In Word just replace ^p with "^p" then just tidy up the first and last rows.
