Table Sort - Sort only 3 of 4 columns
I want to sort a table that has 4 columns, but I want to sort the first 3
columns only, leaving the 4th column intact. The 4th column is a listing of consecutive numbers from 1 to whatever the last row is. I continually add to to the table and need to know how many entries arfe in the table. There doesn't appear to be a way to select columns to sort, or the reverse, columns to exclude from the sort. Am I missing something? |

Word cannot do this, but if you copy the table to Excel, you can do it
there. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org KGlennC wrote: I want to sort a table that has 4 columns, but I want to sort the first 3 columns only, leaving the 4th column intact.

If you use autonumbers in that column, they will still be correct after
sorting. Or you could use SEQ fields; you'll need to update (F9) after sorting. -- Suzanne S.
