Sorting Word Lists

 

Although everyone knows that you can sort Excel data, many

people don't realize that you can also sort data in Word.

As an example of how this works, let's use the data from

the last Excel tip. Enter the data as shown here, pressing

Tab twice between the name and the price.

 

Pears      $1.29

Oranges     $1.19

Kiwis      $1.10

Bananas     $1.49

Apples     $0.99

 

Now select all the data and choose Table|Sort. When the

dialog box opens, accept the default and click OK. This

will put the data into alphabetical order and keep the

prices aligned with the correct fruit.
