I like making lists. I like adding to these lists. The best way I have found to keep my lists organized in a way that I can find the information I need quickly is by using alphabetical lists. Then when I add something new the list can be updated instantly.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy
Step1
Type your list, in no particular order, with each item on a separate line.
Step2

Step3
Go to the tool bar. Click on "Table" and then "Sort." Another menu appears. Allow the first option to say Paragraphs and the type to say Text, and then Ascending. Click the okay button down on the button. The list reappears in alphabetical order.
Step4
Add more to the bottom of the list as necessary. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to alphabetize the list again with the additions.

Tips & Warnings

  • Take your time in learning the process. Once you learn it, it will be a piece of a cake to remember.
