[mso] Re: Alphabetizing table of contents- how??

Oops, clicked sent accidentally... am not done.

To do an index, you would have to mark index entries 107 times. Quite a lot of 
markups to do.

It seems that you have all your 107 names in Heading 1 style. In this case, you 
can view your document in Outline View by clicking on the View Menu, then 
Outline. You should see the Outlining toolbar. It has about 6 different kinds 
of arrows and + and - symbols on it. Your document will have + and - signs to 
the left of your headers. Try selecting Show Level 1, then Show Level 2, etc. 
on the Outline toolbar to see which selection will hide the report body 
paragraphs of each person and show only the headers (or names). Then highlight 
all the names and sort normally.

Now you can have all the names arranged alphabetically in the document and have 
them sorted as well in the Table of Contents without much trouble... hopefully
