Hello Shirly
If it is just a list of names with the phone number on the same line, you 
could make sure that the surname is typed first, e g "Smith John" rather 
than the other way round.
Now just highlight the lot with control and A, then press ALT followed by A 
then S, then press enter.
What this does is to use the Tables "Sort" menu in it's default mode, even 
though the list is not in a table, to add items to the list just add them to 
the bottom and go through the process again. It is a fairly crude way of 
doing the job but it works, it's no good if you have addresses as well on 
seperate lines as these will be included in the sort and get jumbled up, you 
need to put everything in a table if you have addresses as well, then you 
can sort the relevant column.
Jim.

Hello All,

Does anyone know if a list of names and telephone numbers typed into a Word 
document can be automatically put into alphabetical order?...

Many thanks,

Shirley.
