Hi Joy
Can you tell us exactly how your Word document is laid out?
Do all addresses have the same number of lines
And, what version of Word are you using?

I have a list of over 1000 addreses in a Word table. I would like to sort
it
into alpha order by the first line of each address only.
I have tried pasting some of it into excel, but it transfers one line per
row, and I can't merge the cells as it tells me the selection contains
multiple data values.
I would be grateful for any advice?
Thanks
