Default Arange sorted data in multiple columns

Depending on what you're doing with the data, you may decide to keep the data in
MSWord--and not use excel for this.

It can sort the data.
You can insert and delete cells easily.
Doing arithmetic gets more difficult, though.

Ms Word did it nicely. Setup 11 columns in "Format". Then copied and
pasted from the single column in Excel. If Word gets indigestion with
too much data in one excel column I can just bite off what Word can
handle.

Many thanks.
