Of the 2000 or so kanji, does anyone know of a numbered list with *just* the Heisig English words?  Doesn't have to be fancy, just a txt file would do.  And I don't want kanji with it, only the English.  After all, if we're to recall from the English word and not the other way around, it seems that would make the most sense.  I'm kind of surprised the indexes in the book don't have this list--English only in alphabetical order.

What do you need them for? Katsuo in his generosity sent me an rtf file:

RTK 1 ref., RTK2 ref., Kanji, keyword

But that has the kanji, and I don't know if it would help.

I need them to review.  I want to go down the list in English, in the order of the book, so I don't confuse words I haven't gotten to yet.  See the English word, recall the kanji, move on to the next.  I'm using the review system on this site, and it works great, but I also want to be able to use a direct list and recall from just the English words.  I can print it out and take it with me, recalling the kanji on the train, using my finger and palm.

I suppose if there's a list with kanji attached I could strip them out, but it would be way easier if it's a list of just the English words.

Wouldn't it be useful to have the kanji too, in case you forget one and want to check? Maybe you could fold the paper so that the kanji are normally hidden.

Anyway, I can generate all kinds of data lists fairly easily, so feel free to send me a suitable email address and specify what you require.

Not entirely sure how you want to use it but:

Here's a Microsoft Word document where I managed to squeeze all the words on 4 pages (2 a4 sheets if you print on the reverse)

Here's a plain text document with all the words in a list

you can add line numbering in microsoft word which should let you print out a numbered list

Why don't you just keep a running list as you go through your lessons.  I have a Microsoft Word file that I type in everyday I learn new characters to track my progress.  After every new lesson, I type in the new words. 

Actually I have two lists.  One with dates and the primitives.  The other is just the word list. This way I could print it out and carry it with me anywhere I go without having to take the book with me.

I would hate to call you lazy, but the words are all in the book, and in order.  Typing them may be tedious if you are already far ahead, but it makes a great review!

There's spreadsheets around that have Keyword, Kanji, Stroke Number, Heisig Number, and other items. If it's in a spread sheet, there's not much to copy and paste a text document.
