Apr 11, 2012 - So, a lovely list of books but not in order by the authors' surnames. Mac compatible versions of Word should have similar options. Alphabetically sorting table rows. Re-arranging rows in a table is the most common and most intuitive data sorting mechanism, since Word understands right away what you want to do (you'll note the contrast once we start talking about sorting other types of text elements, like lists or even entire paragraphs).
If you have installed. Just take Microsoft Word 2010 for example, which is as well as in Word 2007/2013. With Classic Menu for Word 2007/2010/2013/2016/2019 installed, you can click Menus tab to get back the classic style interface. Click Menus tab. Move to Table menu.
Click Sort in the drop down menu If you have not installed. Click Home tab. Go to Paragraph group. Click the Sort, which is located in the upper right bottom of the group More Tips.

Here's a bit of code that will automate the process for you. It will select all, convert to list, sort by column 2 and then reconvert to text: Open your VB window (Alt+F11) In the left hand window, look for ' Normal' and click on the + Click the + next to Microsoft Word Objects Double-click ThisDocument Paste the code below Import/Open your name list (make sure you only have names in your document) Run the Macro: (2003) Tools Macro Macros (choose 'SortNameList) Run (2007) View Macro View Macros (choose 'SortNameList) Run. I think the easiest thing for you to do would be to create your own Macro!. Go to the Visual Basic Editor and delete the code I gave you (a clean start). Close the visual basic window. Open a document with a list of names in.
(2003) Tools Macro Record New Macro. (2007) View Macros Record Macro You will now get a ' Record Macro', here you need to change the name (call it what you want - NO SPACES ALLOWED though!) and click OK. You should now see a little box with a pause and a stop button to let you know the recorder is running. Now do the following:. Ctrl+A (Select All). Turn Text to Table.
Sort by Column 2. Turn Table to Text. Click stop on the Macro Toolbar YAY! You've just created your first macro!!
Now you can do one final edit to tidy it up a little. We are now going to Edit the Macro. (2003)Tools Macro Macros highlight your macro Edit (2007)View Macros View Macros highlight your macro Edit The Visual Basic window will open showing the code for your macro.
Now, if you look back at the code that I put in my post - can you see the lines. Code: ScreenUpdating = TrueNotice where they are, and add them in the same place to your macro. What these lines do is stop the screen from showing your macro as it runs - otherwise you see it flickering through the different steps - this way it seems to miraculously go from unsorted, to sorted, and is much more professional looking! Hope this is simple enough to follow! Now you know how to make your own macros, you can automate ALL SORTS of tasks that you find yourself doing over and over again.
