list names in random order in Excel 2002

I have lists of names that need to be arranged in random order. Also the list
should only re-arange on <F9> and not on <enter>

One way ..

Assume names listed in A1:A10

Put in B1: =INDEX(A:A,RANK(C1,$C$1:$C$10))
Put in C1: =RAND()
Select B1:C1, fill down to C10

B1:B10 returns a random shuffle of the names in col A

Press F9 to re-generate
