I will try to be more explicit. The document would contain information in a
sentence describing a request for material to be placed in a location at a
certain time and date. I would like to "tag" or "identify" the reqests, or
the location and or the time seperately and then re-sort the information by
either of these criteria. The version of Word I am using is 2003.

Sorry Jon, but you don't provide anywhere near enough information about
what the docs you "receive" are like, what type of "different layout",
what you're actually trying to accomplish... you don't even indicate what
version of Word you're using.
Give people a reasonable amount of information to work with & I expect
you'll get some reasonable suggestions in return

I am trying to find out if there is a way to tag or identify data in a
word document that then can be extracted, sorted, manupilated, etc. I
receive documents that I would like to alter to a different layout.
