Unable to sort the table
Hello,
In a table created in Word 2007, I want to use the "sort" function "sort the selected text alphabetically...". But when I click on this function, a window tells me "Cannot sort the table or selection because all rows are table headers."
How can I modify my text so that it is no longer recognized as a table header?
Thank you

Hello,
I've come across the same issue.
To solve it:
- select the rows you want to sort in the table (without the headers)
- uncheck/deselect the "Repeat header rows" option (in Word 2007, it's in the "Table Tools" menu -> "Layout," all the way to the right)
You should now be able to sort your table.
Your post is quite old, you probably resolved this issue, but I'm posting the solution for anyone else who might find themselves in the same situation. -
