Hi Damien Have you considered using Excel as your wordprocessor? You could layout the document which would then allow you to use Excel's sort facility. Then as you add new entries you could sort on one of the fields and then save your work until the next time you need to add more entries.

Hi everyone. Maybe this is off topic and if so, please accept my appologies. I'm studying Irish language and am creating my own irish to English and English to irish dictionaries using ms word 2007. They are now getting quite large and it's taking a lot of time to find the correct place to insert the words and their meanings. Does anyone know of a way in word whereby I could simply type the word and it's meaning say into a box and word would then insert it into the correct place in the document. Maybe word itself doesn't have this kind of facility, in which case, does anyone know of an accessible programme that does. Just to be clear, I'm not talking about actual pronunciation of words or the dictionary mannager in jaws. I'm simply trying to find a quick way of inserting text into a document in alphabetical order without having to arrow through a lot of pages to get to where I need to be. Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Damien.
