Yes but I am running into the same problem with line continuation. I think I
have to do the following:


temparray = "A,ABLE,ABOUT,ABOVE,ACCORDING,ACCOUNT,ACROSS,ACT,A CTION"
temparray = temparray & "ACTIVITIES,ACTIVITY,ACTUALLY,ADDED,ADDITION"
etc
etc

Thanks

Could you store it in a comma delimited string and access individual elements
using the
Split() function rather than iterating the array with a For..Next loop?

I am trying to load a very large string array into an array variable. I am
having problems as I have too many line continuations (i.e. lines which end
with "_"). Is there a bettter way to do this. I want to keep the list in my
VBA code as opposed to puttng it in a text file.

TempArray =
