Notepad, Excel and Word. Throw in a quick Excel macro, and it's done.

So as a test I deleted most of the surnames from both sections (1 and 2) and that didn't work. Then I tried deleting a bunch of names from each of the 4 sections and hey presto!

So the problem appears to be that there's an upper limit on the number of names that can be in each of the four sections (Names 1 and 2, and Surnames 1 and 2).

I'm not sure exactly what that limit is, but I seem to have got under it when I deleted approximately half the names from each of those sections in your list.

Yep, exactly as I mused above. I had the same problem with SH3Cmdr - the earlier versions of it consisted of merely a comma delimited list of names. I had to re-do it a different way to get around it (not possible here unfortunately without dev support).

You may find the limit is 2047 characters. If you are lucky, it could be as high as 32kb. Trial and error, as you have done, is the best way to find out.
