I have a large file of song lyrics and I would to sort them alphabetically. Is there a procedure to do this in MS Word 10? Thanks.



Here is a sample before sorting and after sorting:

You need to post a sample document rather than put some text in your post.

The method used will depend on whether or not you have used styles or formatting to indicate titles or separate entries.

Try putting the text in a 2-column table with the song title in the left column and the song text (lyrics) in the right column. Then 'Sort' the left column alphabetically and this should keep the right column text with the left column as it gets sorted. The table borders can be formatted as 'None' if you don't want them visible.

This means the title will be to the left of the lyrics but that is the only downside I can see.
