Hi All.
 
I have a field in Excel that may have multiple values in it.
 
I would like to do a Word merge and only select the first value where there
is more than one. 
 
How can this be done?
 
For example
 
Field
Football, Volleyball, Soccer, Tennis
Pre-Law, Crew, Football
Pre-Law, Tennis, Math
Tennis
 
Desired Value
Football
Pre-Law
Pre-Law
Tennis
 
A bonus would be if there was a way to sort alphabetically the values in the
field then pick the first value.
 
Desired Value
Football
Crew
Math
Tennis
