How do I set up tracking chart
Whatever you want to be able to sort by, put in a separate column. You can
sort by up to three columns (for example, Last Name, then First Name within Last Name, then book title within a given Last Name/First Name combination, etc.). -- Suzanne S.

How do I set up tracking chart
First, I'd advise you to set this up in Excel instead of Word, because
it has better sorting facilities. If you must do this in Word, set up a table with as many columns as there are pieces of information about a single book. Put all the information about one book into one row of the table. Then start another row (by pressing the Tab key at the end of the last cell) to add another book. (Advice: Use separate columns for the author's first name and last name, or at least enter them as "last name, first name" so you can sort on the last names.) To do the sort, put the cursor anywhere inside the table, go to the Table menu, and select Sort. In the dialog that appears, choose which column to sort. (Hint: If you use the first row of the table for the column titles, and in the dialog you click the "Header row" item at the bottom, then the top part of the dialog will show the titles of the columns instead of "Column 1", "Column 2", etc.) -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
