program to alphabitize lists of information

[Guest]

I am working on a list containing apx.760 different items and I would like to
be able to input the information and have a program that would put the
information in alphabetical order....It would be almost impossible to do it
manua;y because the information was gathered randomely....your support will
deffinatly be appreciated.
I am using windows XP.

Wally,

If all you want to do is alphabetise a list, then I'd suggest just using
MS-Word. By whatever means, get you rlist into Word, with each item either
in a separate table row, or if you aren't using a table, on separate lines.
Select the list, then select Sort from the Table menu. Finally, click OK.

If you have the list in an Access table, then you can:
(a) Create an index on the relevant field (column), and set its sort
order to Ascending.

(b) Create a query containing the columns you need, then set the
relevant column's Sort property to Ascending.
