I am extremely ignorant on these matters, but it occurred to me that you
could put an return at the end of each name. I know it sounds nuts but I
have used this idea to break up 'reading chunks' in web sites. Who knows?
Maybe it will break it up for you too. Let me know if it works, by the
way. I am curious as to which screen readers will respond to it as well.

Another question, are you reading this doc in a browser? If that is a
potential case, it might be worth checking that out as well. Once again,
I'm ignorant on PDF matters, but give it a shot. Couldn't hurt anyway,
right?
