How do i change a list i made in ms word processor to alphabetical ?

Microsoft Word 2003 can sort text, such as a list of peoples' names, class names, names of inventory items, etc. However, the option is somewhat hidden under the %26quot;Sort%26quot; menu.



To sort text, such as a list of names:



1. Highlight the list of names with your mouse.



2. Choose %26quot;Table%26quot; then %26quot;Sort%26quot;.



3. The %26quot;Sort Text%26quot; dialog box should appear. Most likely you will not have to make any changes. However, if you desire, click the %26quot;Descending%26quot; radio button to sort the text in descending order.



4. Click %26quot;OK%26quot; to close the dialog box.How do i change a list i made in ms word processor to alphabetical ?If each of the items to be sorted is in a paragraph by itself, do this:



In Word versions prior to Word 2007:



1. Select all the paragraphs.

2. Click the Table-%26gt;Sort menu item (trust me!).

3. Set up the sort the way you want.

4. Click OK.



In Word 2007:



1. Select all the paragraphs.

2. Click the Home tab on the ribbon.

3. In the Paragraph group, click the AZ鈫?button.



Hope that helps.How do i change a list i made in ms word processor to alphabetical ?If you're using Word 2007 then the option is %26quot;hidden in plain view%26quot;, as these things often are.



Select your list and on the Home tab in the Paragraph group there is a button that has an A on top of a Z next to an arrow pointing downwards. Press the button and the Sort Text dialog will appear...How do i change a list i made in ms word processor to alphabetical ?you can't. if the list is short enough i suggest re-typing them in alphabetical order, if not then, it would probaly be best just to ignore it, unless you really need to alphabetically order it, where you can only re-do the whole list.How do i change a list i made in ms word processor to alphabetical ?Select (highlight) the list then go to the Table menu and choose Sort. Then you can choose ascending or descending. It works even if the list is not in a table.
