Default How do I sort labels in a Word Document?

I have pages of addresses in label format and need to sort them
alphabetically? How can I do this?

Manually. That's why you should convert those labels into a database of some
sort that will allow you to sort *before* you turn them into labels.

See http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels...mail_merge.htm.

After you make a merge source from the labels, you can sort them any
way you like while you print them to new labels:
