Sorting a Table
I'm trying to sort a table that looks like this:
A B C D E 11 13 14 12 16 18 15 17 19 (columns B and D are empty but necessary in the document) and make it look like this: A B C D E 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 I would like to select columns A, C and E and have Word put the numbers in ascending order. Is there a way to do this? |

Sorting a Table
A conventional sort won't work. I suspect you will have to extract the data
http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels...mail_merge.htm sort it, eliminate the empty records then create a directory merge back to a single row new table. In a directory merge you will need a next record field before the field in colums C & E. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Nanapat wrote: I'm trying to sort a table that looks like this: A B C D E 11 13 14 12 16 18 15 17 19 (columns B and D are empty but necessary in the document) and make it look like this: A B C D E 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 I would like to select columns A, C and E and have Word put the numbers in ascending order.

Sorting a Table
Try this:
Select the Table. Table, Table to Text, Separate text with Paragraph Marks. Table, Sort, Sort by Paragraphs. Change the selection to only include the numbers (as the empty Paragraph Marks are now separaretdd from the numbers). Table, Table to Text, Number of Columns: 3, separate text by Paragraphs. This will now create a 3-column Table with the numbers in the arrangement you want. Now just insert new empty columns in the places required.
