Substitute in a List Lines of Text in Sequence, Two at the Time, Generating New Lists. (Updated for Clarity)

I'm pasting the resulting lists in fields of a software, so ideally between each processed list I would simulate a Tab keystroke, so that the following processed list would go in the next field of the software.

You can see here a screenshot of what I need to do with the processed lists

First, I'd like to thank you for the excellent requirements spec.

This made a complex task easy to understand, and therefore to produce.

I believe this macro should do a good job of getting you started.

Below is just an example written in response to your request. You will need to use as an example and/or change to meet your workflow automation needs.
