I have windows XP with Microsoft Works word processer and word pad. I would like to make some lists and then organize them alfabeticly. How can I do that or what should I download to do it?
Use the spreadsheet in Works. That should do...
In Word you just use the 'Table' function with 'Sort'. At a pinch you can create a table in Word to organise basic information.
Ok thanks I've got a list going in "tables" but I can't find "sort".
Perhaps Pitter doesn't have Word. It doesn't come routinely with XP home.
how to alfabetize
I don't want to sound rude, Pitter, but use your spell checker before alphabetizing your list.
Word has "Sort" in the Tables menu, but if Pitter has Works, that word processing feature doesn't have the Sort option; you have to use the Spreadsheet.
Of course, you can make your alphab list on the spreadsheet, and then copy it to the word processing feature. A bit round Robin Hood's barn, but better than nothing.
