Re: Spelling Error Fequency

Jezebel,

I know the first macro I posted had a Bubble Sort routine but then when I
shifted to to the modified Word Frequency macro then on to your class
suggestion I am using a sort process directly in the code. Is the process
I'm using still considered Bubble sort?

I am a little concerned about the size of the list ;-)
