    Hi,

    I need to either format the following so that each will left justify OR be able to insert the two columns into tables. As I have 27,000 entries, copying and pasting into tables is ruled out. Any way to automate it?

    Thanks.

    i assume the BBS did a fine job of left justifying your data for you :)

    Tricks to mess with formatting of wierd whitespace
    you can paste it into word,
    Search and Replace "<space><space>" with <space>. This will melt down whitespace.
    replace "<Paragraph><space>" with <paragraph>. (use more->'special' Paragraph mark or just ^p)
    That should give you a normalized list. Then do whatever it is you want to do with it.
