"Hi, I'm Tracy Prentiss of Montague, Massachusetts, and I'm going to show you how to put words in alphabetical order in Microsoft Word 2007. You can take any text you have in Word and you can sort it alphabetically. The first thing you need to do is to select or highlight all of the lines of text you would like to sort. Once you have those highlighted on the home tab of the ribbon in the paragraph group there is a sort button. Click on the sort button to bring up the sort text dialog box. The sort by drop down list lets you determine whether you are sorting the entire paragraph or individual words within it. You have two types of sorts, three types of sorts you can do, text, number or date, date obviously would be very specialized for things entered as dates. Your sort can be ascending A to Z or descending Z to A. When you have the options you want selected click OK, and your text is now in alphabetical order. That is how to alphabetize texts in Microsoft Word 2007."
