Cannot Sort By Field 2, Field 3, ... in Outline View
Last reviewed: August 4, 1997

Article ID: Q126041

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
 * Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS
In outline view, the Sort By dialog box shows only two options to sort by: Paragraph and Field 1. In normal view, a full list of fields to sort by is available.

This happens only in outline view when the text to be sorted consists of both delimited and non-delimited paragraphs.

STATUS
This behavior is by design.

RESOLUTION
Switch to normal view before sorting text.
