using XP with Word Office. MS evidently does not consider sorting files
within a folder alphabetically. Can it be done?

I assume you're talking about in the File - Open window (for example)? If
so, right click in the list of displayed files and choose Arrange Icons By -
Name. Does that do what you want? (Or, if you're using the Details view,
just click the Name header at the top of the list of file names; a triangle
pointing up means it's alphabetically sorted; pointing down means that it's
reverse sorted.)
