Hi =?Utf-8?B?QnVubnlqbzU4?=,
I am trying to sort a list and everytime I use the A to Z with the arrows for
sorting I keep getting a box showing "Header Record Delimiter". What is this
for? I can't find it in the Word 2003 book.
As far as I know, the buttons you mention belong to the Tables and Borders
toolbar. So they're probably set to sort things in tabular format. Since they
can't find a table, they're assuming you've text where the "fields" are
"delimited" (defined) by a particular character, such as a Tab or a semicolon.
The dialog box is asking you to specify which character is separating the fields
in your data.
Try using the Table/Sort command, instead. (Strange advice, I know, in light of
what I just said. But that command does let you specify WHAT you're sorting.)
