Hello,
I haven't really used Word functions extensively since I used to use Wordperfect (many years then !). I seem to remember that I used to be able to use a function very similar to Excel filter in a table. The reason I want to use a Word doc as opposed to an Excel doc is to print labels. Is it not possible to sort or filter data in a Word table. Again, many thanks in advance. Jackie

I suspect http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm should
fill the bill. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jackieblue wrote: Hello, I haven't really used Word functions extensively since I used to use Wordperfect (many years then !).

You can sort table data via Table Sort (Word 2003 and earlier versions).
You cannot filter data as you can in Excel. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Jackieblue" wrote: Hello, I haven't really used Word functions extensively since I used to use Wordperfect (many years then !).

Hello,
Thank you for your reply; I realised my title was a little vague just after I'd posted the query. I am working with Word 2007. How would I do the sort in 2007 ? Thanks again.

Oops, feel a bit daft now. Looking for things to be more complicated than
they are. Pity about not being able to filter on a table - thought we used to be able to ? Thanks again though.
