Word 2007 question
Okay Wordies, it's my turn to ask a question about Word 2007.
I had a list of email addresses in Word with a hard return after each name. I wanted to alphabetize them. If I was still using Word 2003, I would highlight my text, select Table - Sort. How the dickens do I do that in Word 2007? I could not get the Sort command to appear unless I actually had the text in a table. That's what I ended up doing but surely I missed something. It's crazy to have to convert text to a table, sort it, and then convert it back to text. -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher |

Word 2007 question
There is a sort command in the paragraph group on the Home tab. It's the
icon with AZ and the down arrow. Did you try that one?

Word 2007 question
I tried using the online interactive site, I searched the help file but did
not see that. Let me type some jibberish and see if I can find it. OH GEEZ!!! I guess it's because I was so used to finding the sort command under Table that I looked there first. I didn't realize that they now include it with paragraphs, which makes perfect sense. No idea why I couldn't find it in the Help file tho. Thank you Patrick. -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher "Patrick Schmid [MVP]" wrote in message ... There is a sort command in the paragraph group on the Home tab.

Word 2007 question
No idea why I couldn't find it in the Help file tho.
Because help gets worse with every release - it seems designed to only tell you some of what you already know, not to guide you towards what you might want to find out. Once upon a time I leaned heavily on Help and I'm real glad I'm not new to Word now because you can't lean on it any more. The Ribbon is supposed to aid 'discoverability' so they must think you don't need that kind of help - clearly it didn't work for you :-( -- Enjoy, Tony "JoAnn Paules" schreef in bericht ...

Word 2007 question
Not that time. I even tried using the interactive guide on the Office
website. Oh well, I found what I needed - and to Microsoft's credit, it was located in a logical place. The problem was that I was in a Word 2003 mindset. ;-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Tony Jollans" My forename at my surname dot com wrote in message ...
