keeping the rows together

[king_reggie]

I'm Creating a directory based on new clientele and i want it alphabetical.
now my problem is tha if i enter for example in A1 Kim Smith, B1 111 rogers
rd, C1 555-555-5555, then continue with other names addresses and phone
numbers, how can i get all the info per row to stay together when i sort
column A? Is there a way to make the each column in the row work as one when
it sorts?

Simply select the *entire* datalist before you sort.

I suggest to *never* use the sort icons on the toolbar.

In fact, I've removed them from the machines of all my users.

XL is right most of the time ... BUT NOT all of the time.

It didn't happen. the text in column B stays put and only Colum A sorts

select the entire worksheet by "ctrl+A".
select Data->Sort
Select "Column A" in Ascending order...ensure that in "Options" it is
selected to be columns and NOT rows...

Let us know if this also doesnt work...

That didnt work either...after i highlight the worksheet i go into Data but
the Sort option is not available, i cant select it. i don't know whats going
on...is there a way to do it without highlighting the whole worksheet?

Click the letter A above your column of names.
Hold down the shift key and click the header letter of the last column that
you wish to sort.

Data > Sort ...... as previously described.

it still won't let me select sort. do you think that my program is faulty?

I don't think your program is faulty.

I think that your sheet is "Protected".

<Tools> <Protection> <Unprotect Sheet>

Faulty, no, probably not!
Is the worksheet protected .... Tools > Protection?

[king_reggie]

What's the possibility that you may have some underlying code?
