Ok guys - back again - thanks for that! Peter your explanation was fab and I have managed to produce the list in the correct order having rearranged the layer stacking. The script works well. Carlos - that's the only way to do it, is it, as the rearranging is a bit time-consuming when there are a lot of names? I guess if I was to enter the names in the correct order in the first place then that would help, but I can't always do that. Jacob - I am wanting to try your method too but not quite sure .... where you say this: 1) Select each live name and Effect>Path>Outline Object (for the second name on Effect>Apply Outline Object will do), then in the Transform palette set the desired W(idth), then pressing Ctrl/Cmd+Enter (or just Enter if you have locked to keep proportions); does that mean that I would still have to select each name one by one to change the width? Thanks again all. Mighty clever 😉 Jill
