You might not have WordPerfect, but MS Word probably has a function similar to WordPerfect's sort. It allows you to reorder a list by a variety of variables, including alphabetically. You need to separate each item as a paragraph. You might look at MS Word's help and type in "sort" as your search term. ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Smith I would like to start and list of items in which I can gradually add more on a regular basis. My hope is to be able to have each new item added in alphabetical order similar to "my documents", so that later I can jump to any one of them by merely pressing a first letter. Is there a program that allows one to set up such a list? My current work-around thought is to do it by using either note pad or word pad; put a space in the untitled memo, close it, and enter my 20 or 30 character item in the title. I'd appreciate any thoughts! Bob S.
