Is this possible? I need to do this for sorting purposes and I cannot sort the labels properly via word.

Help

 
fish2,

The first question is: how did you create the labels? If you did it as a result of a mail merge, then you can sort the original mail merge source.

If you typed them straight into labels, then you can convert the table to text based on a specific character (usually paragraph marks). Then make sure the document results in the appropriate number of columns and the items are within the correct columns. Then copy and paste the items into an Excel spreadsheet as needed, or sort them by column in Word.

Hope this helps.
 
thanks! It was entered directly into regular labels so I will try the second suggestion
