Alphabetical order format in MSWord
just highlight the list using your mouse or similar mechanismas if you were going to copy-and-paste them,Then select "Table" from the Word toolbar,
then select "Sort",then click "OK" your menus might have slightly different spellings)
Given the following example:
bread
apples
Zebras
Flora
Fauna
Gorillas
lemurs
Camels
They were sorted to the following using the above method:
apples
bread
Camels
Fauna
Flora
Gorillas
lemurs
Zebras
This also works if the lists has "Bullets and Numbering";
the resulting list will maintain the bullet/number order
(i.e., the numbers won't change;
e.g., in the above example,
if the unsorted "bread" was "1. bread",
then the sorted "bread" would become "2. bread",
and "apples" would become "1. apples", etc).
If you don't like the result,
then hit the "Ctrl" and "z" keys at the same time
to undo the sort.
The above method will NOT work if the to-be-sorted words
are on the same line, as with a comma-separated list
(e.g., bread, apples, Zebras, etc).
Have fun!
If you *do* have intervening stuff, such as images, etc,
then they will be sorted along with the desired words,
but the results may not be what you expect,
and you may have to do a LOT of editing to put things
the way you want, so make sure that the to-be-sorted words are on their own lines with no intervening stuff
