Filters in Word tables (like Excel)?

E

Eric

Does Word 2003 have anything that would simulate a filter in Excel?

For example, I might have 2-column table. The second column contains a
sentence or a question. The first column contains a topic (statistics,
mathematics, physics, etc.). I'd like to be able to view all the questions on
statistics, and suppress the others.

Any good ideas?

Thanks.

Embed an Excel spreadsheet in the Word document.

Anything else is going to be substantially harder, involving lots of macro
programming. For an example of the sort of thing you're up against, see
