....except that the extension will be .dotx, rather than .doc. Although, I
wonder why you have these files contained in template files rather than
regular documents.

However, .dotx suggests that you're using Word 2007, so for Insert File, in
the Insert tab, click Object - Text from Tile. The Sort command is located
in the Paragraph group in the Home tab, just to the right of the Increase
Indent tool.

For the field code approach, I would suggest that you insert the first one
using the Insert - Object - Text from File - Insert as Link method. Then,
press Alt+F9 to show the field codes. Copy the first field code and
replicate it nine times, and then edit to provide the names for files 2
through 10.

You choices include:

1. Copy & paste.

2. Open the first, go to the end, use Insert File, insert the second,
lather-rinse-repeat.

3. Create a new document, insert ten {IncludeText} field codes with the
names of the 10 files. Use double slashes instead of slashes for
specifying the location, e.g.,
{ INCLUDETEXT "C:\\Users\\Herb\\Documents\\FileOne.doc" }. Press Ctrl+A,
F9, then Ctrl+Shift+F9 to select, update, and convert them into actual
text.

Then use the table sort command (which isn't just for tables) to sort
them.

The exact location of the Insert File and Sort commands depends upon which
version of Word you're using.

I have ten .dotx documents that has a column of addresses in each table
that
are each sorted alphabetically, is there a way to join all ten .dotx
documents and have all ten address columns sorted all together
alphabetically?
