Is there a way to have Microsoft Word alphabetize a list for me? I have a few long lists and thought it would be great if there was a command for this. If not in Word, is there a feature in another program that allows you to do this?

Thanks.

If it matters, I’m on a Mac.

Yes. Click the home tab.

Under the paragraph section, use the A-Z button.
