How do you get Word 2000 to provide more options to sort?

[George]

I am formulating a set of lists in Microsoft Word. When I go into "sort" the
only options are Field 1 and one other. I want to place my lists in
Alphabetical order with another Field. How can I modify it so that this can
be done.

G'Day George,

1. Make the process more meaningful (for you):
Position the Insertion Point somewhere in the top row of the table
Table>Table Properties ...
"Repeat as header row at the top of each page" CHECK the box.

2. Use the Menu:
Table>Sort ...
As you fill in each line (field), the next will become open to a maximum
of three sort fields - using the column headers from step 1!

3. Unless there is a good reason otherwise, consider using Excel. Its facilities
for sorting, analysing, grouping, sub-totalling, totalling and plotting lists are
far better. With Excel 2003 there are some nice features for inserting new
rows etc.
