    know any software for arranging lists alpabetically

    Does anyone know of a good, and when I say good I mean cheap, program that will arrange a list of words alphabetically for me? I see this notepad program that came with the PC but it does not look that fancy.

    Have you tried MS Word? Got to Table>A/Z Sort.

        Yep, any simple spreadsheet program should be able to do it...wordperfect should do this as well.

              probably word. you can cut and paste the list into word. then go to edit>select all. everything will be highlighted. then go to tools>AZ sort.

                you can go a-z or z-a, just by clicking on the sort button. great for bibliographies.

                    Office Excel
                    Open Excel>type items in cells descending #1 thru whatever number> highlight cells you what alphabetized>Go to "Data" in toolbar>click "Sort">this will prompt you for how you want it alphabetized. Very easy to use!
                    Save your list first just in case you make a mistake in how you sorted.

                      Most computers have a basic version of similar programs already installed when you buy them.

                          I havent found any on my PC yet like that. Just the Notepad thing. That is the only one that sounded like it could be. Im not sure I would recognize any names of any so this is helping me.

                            note pad won't do anything, neither will word pad. you must have either excel, word, or word perfect on your pc, right?
