Are you talking about converting text to table format? If so, select the
text and go to Table | Convert. There you can select "Text to Table"... it
will bring up a box that will ask how many columns you want, etc. You can
also convert a table to text so if you alphabetize it as a table, you can
convert it back to text.

Good luck!

I was just sent a list of names and addresses. Each line after the name and
after the address is followed by a paragraph mark. Each entry (name and
address) is separated by two paragraph marks. It needs to be alphabetized
according to last name.

I know how to alphabetize the names according to last name only in Find and
Replace, but how can I get just the names in a single table or column? Any
suggestions about how to do this more quickly than I am currently able to
would be appreciated.

Thanks for all you do.
