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. 

 

 

Best regards,

 

Michael

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.
