i have a document with a bunch of text that isn't arranged in any

dictionary of OOo, which I transferred into a writer document so
that i could add them to a word list i'm working on. the problem is
i need them to be sorted alphabetically and they have to be in a
single column [?]. can i do this
directly from writer or do i have to do come calc sorting, going
back to writer, and things like that...
i'm attaching two files.. the filename should explain itself.
As you may have discovered by now (from the copy returned to you),
attached files are normally stripped from messages before they are
distributed by the mailing list processor, so no-one will have seen your files.
If I understand the problem correctly, I think the solution is fairly
straightforward in Writer.
o Go to Edit | Find & Replace... .
o In "Search for", enter a blank.
o In "Replace with", enter \n (which here represents a paragraph break).
o Click More Options and then tick "Regular expressions".
o Click Replace All. Your text is now distributed one word per paragraph.
o Go to Edit | Select All (or Ctrl+A) to select all the text.
o Go to Tools | Sort ... (and OK) to sort the words.
I trust this helps.
