Word 97 question...

I can't think of a way to do exactly what you're wanting. You could paste the two lists together, then sort them (Table => Sort). This would alphabetize the list and at least put the duplicates together so you could delete one.

What you are wanting to do is more of a Excell function. But you can sort in Word.

i have a list of names that i created in word and saved. i then created another list of names with some identical names in it. is there a way to compare the lists and have word take out the duplicates from the new list?

j,

You get a lot of mileage out of this website, which is a good thing.

howste, excellent low tech solution, though in Excel I think you can combine the lists and then sort discarding dupes.

Anyway, j, if you have not finished this already, I can either do this for you (easier than trying to explain), so post back if you want me to help you out.
