Alphabetizing titles

[Guest]

When I scan a list of movie titles into my Word program - how do I put the
list in alphabetical order?
Thanks for your help!

You have to put them in a Table, then do a
Table>>Sort.

See the Word helpfile.

When I scan a list of movie titles into my Word program - how do I
put the list in alphabetical order?
Thanks for your help!

This is "Windows XP General". Microsoft Word is a separate product and has
its own newsgroups where such things are more likely to be answered.

Use Excel... You can sort data in many ways.

You should also learn to ..
1) Tell those you are asking for help from the bversion of the application
you are asking about.
2) Use the built-in help of each individual application.

Using the help in Microsoft Word 2003 and looking for "alphabetize", one
thing that comes up is about sorting list in a table:

Sort a list or table

- Select the list or table you want to sort.
- On the Table menu, click Sort.
- Select the sort options you want.

And another thing that comes up is a link to here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA101154421033.aspx

Which states:

"Let Word alphabetize lists for you

Do you occasionally need to alphabetize a list of names? You could waste an
entire hour on that single task, but Word can sort the list instantly.

The Sort Text command can be used to alphabetize lists instantly.
1. Type a list of names, pressing ENTER after each name. Your list should
look something like:
Madeleine Kelly
Brian Cox
Tamara Johnston
2. Select the entire list.
3. On the Table menu, click Sort.
4. Click Options, click Other, press SPACEBAR and then click OK.
5. In the Sort by list, click Word 2, and then click OK.

Now your list looks like this:
Brian Cox
Tamara Johnston
Madeleine Kelly
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5, but click Word 1 in the Sort by list, and your
list will look like this:
Brian Cox
Madeleine Kelly
Tamara Johnston"

Good luck.

They don't need to be in a table.

You can use Sort with or without a table

Letting kids design word processors. WinWord Ver 1 could do this. Even Word 5 for Dos can.

But they'll be a hell of a lot easier to deal with and
read if they are.
