I have an Excel problem I would really appreciate help with. I have a very
long mailing list for a research project. The list contains rows of names &
addresses. I need to divide the list into blocks or parcels of seven names
(lines) each. How do I get Excel to insert a row after every seventh line?
If I tried to do this manually it could take hours! Thanks a bunch for your
help...

Manually it takes about 1 minute when you do it like this:

In an temporary column right beside your datas write in the first cell '1'
and in the one right below '2', select both and doubleklick the
autofill-handle (little black square in the bottom right corner of the
selection).

Now move to the end of your temporary colunm, write right below the last
numer '7' and below that '14', select both of this new cells, 'grab' the
autofill-handle with the left mousebutton and move downwards until the
shown number is higher than the amount of your datas.

Now move back to the top, select *one* cell in your temporary column and
click the 'A-Z'-button.

Your empty rows are added now - delete the temporary column.
