how do i put a word document in alphabetical order
Did you create your list in a table... or just lines of text? If you did lines of text -- you might
try highlighting your lists and from the Table Menu -- converting the Text-to-Table. Then you should be able to sort.

You can also sort paragraphs of text without their being in a table. Just
select the text and do Table Sort. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "Kathryn Groves" wrote in message ...

Each item must be in a separate paragraph.

I would also add to these replies that the best place to create a price list
is in Excel. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "sam" wrote in message news I created a price list for my volunteer job and I am having problems putting it in alphabetical order.

Doug
OK - especially for a big price list that is going to continue growing. g But Excel has an easier learning curve and it can still do infinitely more than Word far more easily than either Word or Access even if Access has the greater potential. terry "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote in message ...

It really depends on the pricelist, does it not?
I would agree that if you had a price list containing hundreds or even thousands of items, or if there was a complex pricing structure then Access or Excel could well be a better option. However, if you had a simple price list with a few 10s of items in it then both Excel and Access may be overkill to some extent, expecially as it would be easier for a novice user to produce a nicely formatted pricelist in Word than either of the other two (again assuming there was only a fairly small number of items) Btw, message to the OP: Did you manage to get your list sorted?
