SUMMARY
The Word version 2.0 and 6.0 for Windows error:
Word cannot sort fields in the selection
or Word version 1.x for Windows error:
Cannot sort fields in selection
can occur when using the Sort Text command from the Table menu in 6.0
or the Sort command from the Tools menu in version 2.0 or the
Utilities menu in version 1.x for one of two reasons:
- The current selection contains a field whose result contains more
than one paragraph. You must unlink the field, then try to sort
again.
To unlink or break the link between a field and its source of data,
highlight the field and use the Unlink Field key (CTRL+SHIFT+F9).
-or-
- The column selection contains only part of a field in one of the
lines. Try to put the whole field on one line and make sure the
column selection is as large as the field.
