Logan, The first thing that springs to mind is the profusion of line breaks within your list, are they perhaps an issue?

When I type in list items one by one as a test the script compiles but when I copy and paste the long list of items I want I get an error when compiling that states "Unexpected word DlgSelectItemInList". Is there some potential issue with copying a list from an external word/text file and then pasting it into the script manager? the pasted list is copied below for your interest & comments: DlgSelectItemInList ("New document|Open document|Print|Save|Close|Tab|Undo|Repeat|Open font dialog box|Open find dialog box|Insert hyperlink|Copy|Cut|Paste|Bold|Italics|Underline|Align left|Align center|Align right|Justify|Select all|Subscript|Superscript.|Hide/reveal the ribbon|Opens print all|Subscript|preview|Open saved document|Shrink selected font|Grow selected font|Insert Page break|Track Changes|Insert footnote|Insert Endnote|Mark entry|Mark citation|View macros|Spelling and Grammar|Thesaurus|Select all text from current cursor position to the beginning of the document|Select all text from current cursor position to the end of the document|Office button|Home tab|Insert tab|Page Layout tab|References tab|Mailings tab|Review tab|tab|View New document|Open a previously saved document|Save tab|document|Save As document|Save as word document|Save as word template|Save as Word document|97-2003 Find add-ins for other file formats|Other formats|Print document|Print|Quick Print|Print Preview|Properties|Inspect document|Encrypt document|Add a digital signature|Mark as Final|Run a compatability checker|Send as e-mail|Send as Internet fax|Blog|Document management server|Create document workspace|Close document|Word options|Exit Word|Paste|Cut|Copy|Format Painter|Show Office Clipboard task Word|Paste|Cut|Copy|pane|Font|Font Size|Bold|Italics|Underline|Strikethrough|Subscript|Superscript|Clear formatting|Highlight text|Font color|Change case|Grow font|Shrink font|Opens font dialog box|Starts bullet list|Starts numbered font|list|Starts multilevel list|Decrease indent|Increase indent|Align left|Align center|Align right|Align justify|Open line spacing list|Add space before paragraph|Add space after paragraph|Shading|Borders|Sort paragraph|order|Show/hides formatting symbols|Show paragraph dialog box|Show more headings|Open change styles list|Opens styles list|Open editing list|Open find dialog box|Replace selected text|Select text or objects in the document|Insert Cover page|Insert Blank page|Insert Page break|Insert Table|Insert page|Picture|Clip Insert art|Insert Shapes|Insert SmartArt|Insert Chart|Insert Hyperlink|Insert Bookmark|Insert Cross-reference|Insert Header|Insert Footer|Insert Page number|Insert Text box|Quick parts|Insert Word Art|Insert Signature line|Insert Date and Time|Insert Object|Insert Equation|Insert Symbol|Themes|Theme colors|Theme fonts|Theme Effects|Margins|Orientation|Size|Columns|Breaks|Line Numbers|Hyphenation|Page setup|Watermark|Page color|Page border|Indent Left|Indent right|Spacing before|Spacing after|Paragraph dialog Left|box|Object position|Bring to front|Send to back|Text position|wrapping|Align|Group|Rotate|Table of Contents|Add text|Update table|Footnote|Endnote|Next footnote|Show notes|Footnote dialog box|Insert a citation|Manage sources|Bibliography style|Bibliography|Caption|Table of figures dialog|Update table|Cross- reference|Mark entry|Insert index|Update index|Mark citation|Insert reference|Table of Authorities|Update Table of Authorities|Create envelopes|Create labels|Start mail merge|Select recipients|Edit recipient list|Highlight merge fields|Address block|Greeting line|Insert merge field|Rules|Match fields|Update labels|Preview results|First record|Previous record|Go to record|Next record|Last record|Find recipient|Check for errors|Finish record|and merge|Spelling and Grammar|Research|Thesaurus|Translate| Translation Screentip|Set Language|Word Count|Insert comment|Delete Screentip|comment|Previous comment|Next comment| Track changes| Balloons|Display for review|Show Markup|Reviewing pane| Accept and move to next|Reject and move to next|Previous change|Next change|Compare|Show source documents|Protect document|Print layout|Fulll screen reading|Web Layout|Outline view|Draft view|View ruler|View gridlines|Document map|Thumbnails|Zoom|100%|One page|Two pages|Page width|New window|Arrange all|Split|View side-by- side|Synchronous scrolling|Reset window position|Switch window|View side|macros", "test List: ", 1, 1) I used a test list code of: DlgSelectItemInList ("Item1|Item2|Item3", "Select Action To Perform: ",1,1) and the script compiled; however when I then replaced the list items with my wanted list above I get the unexpected word error. Thoughts and suggestions please?
