Sort a table by graphics
Hi! We have a very large table in Word that we receive from our bank. The
1st column is graphics representing the type of transaction for each record of the data dump. Rather than spend all the time it would take to replace these graphics with text - is there a way to sort on those graphics? It would be 5 images at most representing a couple hundred records. I guess what I'm asking - is there any way to sort on the object instead of the usual text/number/date? We'd really be grateful if we could save a few hours work each month. Thanks! |

Sorry, Word has no way to distinguish any graphic from any other
graphic. In your position, I would contact the bank to find out whether you could get the document with characters instead of graphics; it would be a very minor change for the database program that creates the document. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Failing Jay's suggestion, there might be some distinguishing feature of the
graphics that could be used: right-click one of the graphics, select properties, and check the height and width: see if this is the same for all of them. Also, if you hold the cursor over one, do you get a screentip? If there is a distinguishing property, it would be simple to write a macro and replace each macro with some text on which you could sort. "Denise" wrote in message ... Hi!
