Jan 02, 2006 This Site Might Help You. RE: Can you alphabetize on Microsoft Word? Just regularly, not in a table. For example, if I opened a document and wrote "Cat, Big, Dog, Apple", is there a tool I can use to alphabetize those in ascending order? Oct 12, 2019 If you want to sort a list A to Z, select the text you need. Make sure you're on the 'Home' tab. Click on 'Sort' icon. Set 'Sort by' to 'Headings' in the new window. Set 'Type' to 'Text'.
i typed in a list and i am tryng to organize it alphabetically but i have no idea how, i googled it and it said go to to table and then sort but when you click on the table tab there is not a sort option. any ideas?
The table > sort option is only available in MS Word not MS Works. The Works spreadsheets will automatically alphabetize for you. If you need to alphabetize in a word processor, you might want to try Open Office. Wireless ergonomic keyboard. It's a free word processor with most of the advanced features of MS Word.
Yes. Type in your list in random order in one column. Click Edit > Select Column. Then go to Tools > Sort. From the menu box, select ascending or descending >sort. Ascending will organize your list alphabetically.
there is no sort options under tools, microsoft works word processor on windows vista
i had it typed in one column and i tried it and i tried it with two columns, there is no sort option under tools in works word processor
No, there is no sort option in the word processor. That's why you have to use the spreadsheet if you want to sort. Make sure your columns are highlighted then click on tools > sort in the spreadsheet. Also, you can copy your list from the word processor and paste it directly onto your spreadsheet.
thanks, i figured it out now, it took me a minute to get what you were saying lol
Sorry I wasn't clearer. I'm glad you got it sorted out :)
