Pam, Just one final point I missed, relating to Step 6: 6. Now do an advanced filter on columns A and B. Leave the 'criteria' field empty, but check the box for 'unique records only. Select the 'copy to another location' radio button and in the 'copy to' field enter: "D:E" (without quotes.) BEFORE you do the advanced filter, you'll need to insert a new row right at the top of the worksheet and enter column headings like PHRASE and NUMBER (in caps). Advanced filter won't work if it can't detect column headings. Ray Blake _____________ This email is from Ray Blake, Head of Software Design, GR Business Process Solutions.
