Help needed with sorting the story

External Since: Jan 10, 2007 Posts: 7

Hi,
I have this stories, or rather collections of sentences separeted into
different parts, which I would like to sort. It looks like this
Part 01
sentence 01
* sentence 01
sentence 02
* sentence 02
Part 02
sentence 01
* sentence 01
sentence 02
* sentence 02

What I would like to do, is to bring all the sentences that start with an *
to the end of the list. So that it would look like this:
Part 01
sentence 01
sentence 02
* sentence 01
* sentence 02
Part 02
sentence 01
sentence 02
* sentence 01
* sentence 02

All parts are preceded by section break. Hope somebody can help me here, I'm
going crazy with this massive, unmanagable document.
Thanks in advance,
Arthur N

You could ask in a programming newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.word.vba.general for a macro solution. Be sure to describe
in detail what you are trying to accomplish.
