The answer to this as well as your other post depends on how the doc is
structured.

If the info is in a table with each field in a separate column you can use
TableSort to sort on as many as 3 fields (i.e., State/City/Zip or
City/LastName/FirstName). You need only have the insertion point inside the
table - although field names (captions) in the top row make it easier.

Likewise, even if not a table, as long as each "record" constitutes a
paragraph & a consistent field separator has been used (tab, comma, etc) you
can employ the same feature but you must select the entire list first.

Hiya all you Word experts out there I am trying to find out if you
can sort a LARGE document, say 800 subpoenas, by using a certain
field?

What I am doing is I create 800+ subpoenas and 150 of them go to the
same person, 20 go to another and so on...so if I could sort them by
name that would be awesome.

Thanks!! Carrie
