Microsoft Word

Since changing from XP to the new Vista format I have not been able to access a SORT sub heading under the TABLE menu.
I was previously able to use this facility to enable me to change the contents of a column from numerical ascendancy to alphabetical ascendancy and vice versa. Can you help?

RE: Microsoft Word

Hi Janet

Thank you for your question.

This feature is still available in Word 2007. The first thing to check is whether you have clicked inside your table, as the ribbon which lets you sort your data will not appear unless your cursor is sitting in the table area.

Select the Layout table under Table Tools at the top of the screen. In the Data group of buttons you should find the Sort button. Clicking on this will launch the Sort dialogue box...and you're away.

I hope this helps.
Amanda

Word tip:

Autonumbering in Word

The Auto Numbering feature in Word can be both useful (when you want it to work) and annoying when you don't.

When you begin a list by typing 1 then press the space bar or tab key, and type in text, Word will automatically change the paragraph to a numbered list when the ENTER key is pressed. This will mean that the next paragraph is automatically numbered as 2.

If you do not want Word to continue sequentially numbering any following paragraphs, you can turn off Auto Numbering. To do this, go to Tools-Auto Correct Options. In the Auto Correct dialog box, click the "Auto Format As You Type" tab. Deselect the "Automatic Numbered Lists" checkbox, then click OK to close the box.

To turn Auto Numbering back on, go back into Tools-AutoCorrect Options and recheck the "Automatic Numbered Lists" option.
