I have a long alphabetical list of words straight down the page and they are 1 word per line.

I'd like to keep the alphabetical order but sort in groups by first letter with 5 spaces between each.

The list is too long to click in front of each word, backspace & tab. This is how I want it to appear

apple attire atom

cab cat cage camel cart

deep deer

instead of:


apple

attire

atom

cab

cat

cage

camel

cart

deep

deer

Sesame Script didn't seem to have what I needed.

I found this remedy and posting it in case somebody else needs the solution. Or I need it again.

Replace each paragraph break (^p) with a comma and a space using the Find
and Replace dialog.
how do I make a vertical list horizontal?



In the "Find what" box, type ^# to remove all numbers.
