Filter

Hello,
I haven't really used Word functions extensively since I used to use
Wordperfect (many years then !).
I seem to remember that I used to be able to use a function very similar to
Excel filter in a table.
The reason I want to use a Word doc as opposed to an Excel doc is to print
labels.
Is it not possible to sort or filter data in a Word table.
Again, many thanks in advance.
Jackie

You can sort table data via Table > Sort (Word 2003 and earlier versions).
You cannot filter data as you can in Excel.

Hello,
Thank you for your reply; I realised my title was a little vague just after
I'd posted the query. I am working with Word 2007. How would I do the sort in
2007 ?
Thanks again.

The sort button is in the paragraph group on the Home tab

Oops, feel a bit daft now. Looking for things to be more complicated than
they are.
Pity about not being able to filter on a table - thought we used to be able
to ?
Thanks again though.
