Are you using a mail merge? If so, sort your SOURCE DATA file, not the actual table with the labels in it.

If you got a bug that looks like it came from me, it did NOT! -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of bill Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2004 10:36 AM To: word-ms; mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] word-label sort Yesterday I installed Office 2003 Pro Edition. A nice update from 2000 Pro. I have a list of labels that i print off once a month,put the labels on the envelope and put them in the mail using the avery label system # 5660 .As membership changes I add or remove names.The list is badly out of alphbetical order. I have gone to Tables..sort text..sort by and the first box says paragraphs or field 1 with the box on the right saying text,number,date. I have gone to the top right corner asking for help and still can't figure out the way to do it. After trying all the combinations of sorting I wonder...am I at the proper place (Tables) or am i going at it wrong?..Any help would be appreciated..T.I.A........bill ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
