We consider laser alignment of ortho and para spin isomers of water molecules by using strong and short off-resonance laser pulses. A single pulse is found to create distinct transient alignment and antialignment of the isomeric species. We demonstrate selective alignment of one isomeric species (leaving the other species randomly oriented) by a pair of two laser pulses.
