Hey hello,



I am planning to do a pretty big text-doc with several hundred pages.

Every page will have a headline.

When I am done, I want to be able to sort the pages of the whole doc alphabetically according to the headlines.

-> so page 1 will be a page with a headline that starts with "A...." and so on...

Is there a way I can do that?

thnx in advance for any help!!

take a copy of the file, apply a Heading style to each of the headlines, then change to Outline view, show only the headings and sort them alphabetically

Thanks for the replies, guys - I have to admit, I am a little bit lost..

I read up on "Outline View" in MSWord, because I didn´t know what it was.
Still I am not sure, that it is, what I need.

Let me elaborate:

I want to create a Songbook. So every Page will
- show exactly one song
- have a picture of a scanned song
- have a headline above the scanned picture with the name of the song

So once I am done with gathering all my songs in this doc, I want to be able to sort the pages alphabetically according to the headlines/names of the songs.

Is this achievable with the Outline-View?
Thanks!!

There is no way to alphabetically sort these automatically built into Word.

You can use the Navigation Pane or Outline view to rearrange them yourself though.

It may be possible to use Outline view showing only the headings and run a sort. I have not tried this but it may be something that can be done. Try using a copy of your document. To do this, you would need to add the Sort command to your QAT.

Thanx for the hints, guys!
Will try it out...
