Depends on the version. Assuming Word 2003 or recent earlier versions,
select the table, and choose Table - Sort from the menu. If you're using Word 2007, select the table, click the Layout tab in the ribbon, and in the Data group, click the Sort button. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "School Secretary" wrote in message ... -- ElkeAdams |

A table of contents in alphabetical order sounds a lot like an index. Note
that you can sort a TOC, but, unless you unlink it (or at least lock it), it will resort itself in chronological order the next time you update it. -- Suzanne S.

Actually, I somehow completely missed "of contents" when I too quickly dove
in. Since it's not really a table at all, in Word 2007, the Table Layout tab won't be available. In fact... It turns out that you CAN'T sort a Table of Contents unless you unlink it (Ctrl+Shift+F9). Even if you lock the field, the sort command gives an error ("Word cannot sort fields in the selection"), at least in Word 2003. Even if you unlink the TOC, School Secretary, you probably won't get the results you want unless all of the TOC items are at the same level. That's because Sort treats every paragraph the same, regardless of level/indentaion. So, if you TOC is: Food of Canada Lobsters in the Maritimes Lodging in Canada Hotels in Alberta The Sort command would produce: Food of Canada Hotels in Alberta Lobsters in the Maritimes Lodging in Canada -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Suzanne S.
