Works 8, Vista, Putting a list into alphabetical order

[Brat]

I have a document that is a long list of movie titles, created in Word in the
format of 2 columns. I used to be able to "select all" and then Word would
"sort" the list into alphabetical order.... but having transferred this
document to Works Word Processor, I don't appear to have this option any
more. Anyone know if I can do this without having to resort to spreadsheets,
about which I know nothing?! I would much prefer to be able to perform this
action in my document as it is. I have tried cutting/copying and pasting
into a table, but it won't transfer into a format I can use. Thank you in
advance.

Well Works is not a full featured word processing tool. I would guess
that is one feature not available. MS Word (most versions anyway) will
function on Vista. If you own a standard version vs OEM and have the disk
along with the key code, you likely will be able to add that to your new
machine. If not you can purchase a copy or Word or an MS Office package
with Word.

As Joseph said, Works is not a full featured word processor. The best
suggestion I can give, short of buying Word, is to educate yourself
about spreadsheets. Again, Works is not Excel, but you would be amazed
at what you can do with spreadsheets. A list is a natural document for a
spreadsheet, and once educated, you can print documents that look really
fantastic without grid lines. You can format, control fonts, anything
you want. The printed document will look just like a word processor
document.
