Could you please tell me HOW TO or tell me where to look on your site, for I would like to reorganise in text document, a list of authors in alphabetical order. I use a Mac Pro.

How is your list constructed? The various items probably need to be separate paragraphs for this to be done simply.

o Select the list of paragraphs.
o Go to Table | Insert > | Table... . A table is created with one paragraph of the text per cell.
o Select all the material again.
o Go to Table | Sort..., choose your required options, and click OK. The material is sorted but still in the table. o With the cursor somewhere in the table, go to Table | Convert > | Table to Text... .
o OK.

Alternatively, you can copy the material temporarily into a spreadsheet, sort it there, and copy and paste the result back over the original material in your text document.

I trust this helps.
