Can you sort a document by Address??

[CarrieLu]

Hiya all you Word experts out there I am trying to find out if you
can sort a LARGE document, say 800 subpoenas, by using a certain
field?

What I am doing is I create 800+ subpoenas and 150 of them go to the
same person, 20 go to another and so on...so if I could sort them by
name that would be awesome.

Thanks!! Carrie

The answer to this as well as your other post depends on how the doc is
structured.

If the info is in a table with each field in a separate column you can use
Table>Sort to sort on as many as 3 fields (i.e., State/City/Zip or
City/LastName/FirstName). You need only have the insertion point inside the
table - although field names (captions) in the top row make it easier.

Likewise, even if not a table, as long as each "record" constitutes a
paragraph & a consistent field separator has been used (tab, comma, etc) you
can employ the same feature but you must select the entire list first.
