From within a .NET 3.5 console application I have a SortedList string,string that will contain an unknown number of key/value pairs. I will get this collection by reading in rows from a table within a Microsoft Word document. The user will then be able to add additional items into this collection. Once the user has finished adding to the collection I then need to write the collection back to a new Microsoft Word document. The difficulty is that the items must be written back to the document in alphabetical order to a multicolumn table, first down the left side of the table and then down the right side of the table and since the output will likely be spread across multiple pages I need to also keep the order across multiple pages. So the first table on the first page may contain A through C on the left side of the table and C through F on the right side of the table then if the table exceeds the page a new table is needed. The new table may contain F through I and the right side L through O.Since the table will likely span multiple pages and I know the maximum number of rows per table per page I can do the math to determine how many tables I will need overall. This image is representative of the output: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/mU5k1.png" alt="table output"><br> For the sake of brevity if a output table can contain a maximum of 7 rows per page and 2 items per row and I have 28 items then I will need to write the output to 2 tables but of course I won't really know how many tables I will need until I read in the data so I can't simply hardcode the number of output tables.</p> <p>What is the best way to take my SortedList and split it out into n collections in order to create the table structure described?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
