G'day David,
I took a cursory look, but it seems archaic for my needs,
a bit like a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

I'll use a work around by pasting into an MSWorks WP doc
(400 pages :) then paste special / text from there, it only
takes a few seconds.

Thank you very much for your time in answering my query.

| After I try a sort, the paste option no longer offers.
