Wonderful! That did it! Thanks again. I see your posts on the MS
Newsgroup(s) and you are always SO helpful.

Have you tried what I suggested? Press Ctrl+A, Ctrl+0 and see if that
doesn't give you the result you want.

Suzanne,

If I'm understanding what you are saying, there would be a double

space
between each line. The lines are now arranged with the name on one

line,
then the e-mail address on the next line (indented slightly), then
(immediately) on the next line another name, followed by (indented)

e-mail
address on the next line. The way it WAS, had a double line/space

after
the
e-mail address before showing the next name. Hope I'm explaining this

right.
It's easier to read the list if there could, once again, be that

double
line/space.

The easiest way is to Ctrl+A, Ctrl+0 (zero). This adds 12 pts Space

Before
each item. If you'd rather have Space After, you have to visit the

Format |
Paragraph dialog to do that. You do *not* want to use an empty

paragraph
or
line for this purpose.

Suzanne,

I tried what you said, and it worked! THANK YOU! I no longer

have a
double line space between each name/e-mail address and the next,

though;
they
are all together. Is there any way to restore the double line

space
using
the same technique?

today).
Thanks!

Well, the reason I didn't go into that is that it probably

won't
be
easy
unless you've by any chance got two paragraph breaks between

entries.
If you
have, then you can use Find and Replace to look for paragraph

breaks
(^p)
and replace with line breaks (^l). You then replace two line

breaks
together
(^l^l) with a paragraph break, and you're home and dry.

But if you have the whole list as a solid chunk--that is, line

1
is a
name,
line 2 is an email address, line 3 is another name, line 4

another
email
address, and so on, you'll have to do this semi-manually. You

can
insert a
line break manually by pressing Shift+Enter; if you select the
paragraph
mark first (display nonprinting characters so you can see

them),
it
will
replace it. But that would be very labor-intensive. Instead,

use
F&R
to
replace ^p with ^l, but instead of using Replace All, just

alternate
Find
Next and Replace judiciously to replace only every other

paragraph
break.

Thanks, Garfield and Suzanne. Suzanne, sorry to be dumb,

but
how
do I
change the break from a paragraph break to a line break?

"Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote:

That's probably because you have a paragraph break at the

end
of
each
line.
If you change the break between the name and the email

address
to
a line
break, then Word will sort the paragraphs correctly.

OK, I took another look and I see where the names are

under
the
long
line.
Now I have another problem. I see that it mixed in the

e-mail
addresses
(which were indented) alphabetically. I was able to

accomplish
this
in
WordPerfect and it only alphabetized the names, not the

indented
e-mail
addresses; it left them under each respective name. I'd

like to
have
the
list in both Word & WordPerfect so I can share it with

those
who
only
have
Word.

Scroll down a ways to see the names. When you sort a

containing
blank lines and non-blank lines, all of the blank

lines
will
end up
together at the beginning of the document (sort order

=
nothing
before
something).

I answered this in the newsgroup. I tried that and

still
got the

black
line with the names having disappeared. BTW, each

name
was
on a

line with its e-mail address indented under it; then

a
line
space
before the
next name.

The Sort command happens to be under the Table menu,

your

don't have to be in a table. Each name should be on

a

Sort.
