Sort text alphabetical

May someone give an example of vba code to sort all lines alphabetical? MS Word 2007.

'Lines' area vague concept n a Word document. If you mean paragraphs then

Code:

Selection.Sort _
            ExcludeHeader:=False, _
            FieldNumber:="Paragraphs", _
            SortFieldType:=wdSortFieldAlphanumeric, _
            SortOrder:=wdSortOrderAscending

at the end.

Is it possible to sort paragraphs in random order?

Not in Word without a macro.

If I was tasked with doing this I would paste the paragraphs into Excel, add a column beside with the formula =Rand(), sort on that column and then paste the result back into Word.
