How do I sort My Document into alphabetical order?
and Some how the documents (resumes, cover letters, and etc.) in My
Docouments got out of alphabetical order, which makes it hard to search for the file you want. I can not figure out how to resort it. I am using Windows XP. Most of the documents are in MS 2003 Word or Excel. Help! |

How do I sort My Document into alphabetical order?
While you are in your folder, look across the top for an Icon called Views.
Select Details. You will get bars across the top of your folder one of which is Name. Click once on Name to sort Ascending, click again to sort in descending order. Once you have your documents sorted, you can change your view back to either icons or list or whatever. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message was posted to a newsgroup, Please post replies and questions to the group so that others can learn as well.

How do I sort My Document into alphabetical order?
Thank you, thank you, thank you. That was driving me crazy! My OS window
lists files A-Z, my Word window listed files Z-A. Every once in a while (over the past 3 years) I would poke around on my computer and in help files to try to figure out how to make the lists match; right-clicking in the file open window and selecting Arrange ... by name did the trick. Finally. I feel so organized now, I'm sure my productivity will increase 100-fold. ;-) "Graham Mayor" wrote: Or just right click in the file open window and select 'Arrange Icons by name' -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Dawn Crosier, Word MVP wrote: While you are in your folder, look across the top for an Icon called Views.
