Sorting Lists

If you have a list of paragraphs that you wish to sort into alphabetical order:

• Ensure each paragraph has a "hard return" before the next paragraph
  • Use the ¶ button to reveal (click again to hide)
• Select all text to be sorted
• Word 2003
  • Click Table > Sort; leave the default sort options; click OK
• Word 2007
  • Home Tab > A to Z button in the Paragraph Group; leave the default sort options; click OK
• The paragraphs will be sorted, but
  • If you had two "hard returns" between each paragraph (likely), then there will be a series of blank lines at the top. Just delete these.
  • To reinsert a 'blank line' between each paragraph (i.e. two "hard returns"), it is necessary to replace each single "hard return" with two
