sort by second word
Word 2007 - I have a table typed with first and last names in one cell. This
needs to be alphabetized. According to an SBarnhill reply post I should click on the Option button, place a space in the Separate fields at-Other box, then I should get a Word 1 and Word 2. I have done this before successfully, however I don't seem to be able to get Word 1 and 2 to show up now. Any thoughts as to what I am doing wrong. I get this whether I select my rows/columns or not. Thanks, Becky |

Got it! I was selecting the Column2 to sort by first, then going to Options.
I should have gone straight to Options, clicked Other, added the space, OK, THEN gone to the Sort by - which now contains Word 1 Word 2... I should have just kept plugging away at it... If you play the same record you get the same song...  Thanks for all the help I would have gotten anyway."becder" wrote: Word 2007 - I have a table typed with first and last names in one cell.

sort by second word
I have usually found that getting Word to show Word 1, Word 2, is chancy at
best, so don't feel bad about not getting it the first time. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "becder" wrote in message ... Got it!

So, what is the deal with this? After I *found* my answer, then once again, I
could not recreate this scenario. I was able to have Word 1 and Word 2 show up in the "using" field. Go figure. But then couldn't even recreate that scenario with accuracy. I wish there was a concrete answer for this. Surely, there is... Thanks Suzanne, for helping not think I am just plain crazy. -becky "Suzanne S.
