Although the Sort command is on the Table menu, you don't have to have text
in a table to sort it. You do have to have each item in its own paragraph.
Then select the text to be sorted and click on the Table | Sort command.

IWhen I look in Help within MS Word (2003) it says How to sort a list or
table, and then it only tells how to sort in a table. This is just one
long
list of names and I want to alphabetize the list. I don't want them in
a
table. If I try to put them in a table and sort from there I get a long
black vertical line and the names disappear. Can anyone help? TIA.
