Alphabetizing columns in Word??

[49erinnc]

I had to create a couple columns of info in a Word document. I need each column to be alphabetized though, now that the document is done. Is there a simple way to highlight the field and do that? Using Word 2002.

Thanks

edit: oh you said word. sorry, below is excel directions. may work in Word also, but i'm not sure.

highlight the column
click data
click sort
if you have multiple columns that need sorted together, like first and last name, select expand selection.
if you have 1 column, select continue with selection.
then choose which column you want to sort by and whether you want ascending or descending order. Ascending will do alphabetical order.

Thanks a bunch...that did the trick (Table > Sort > Ascending Text)
