Not sure about doing it in Word. Why don't you use Excel instead? It is really easy to sort any way you want in Excel.

My gut reaction is that over time computers become slower as, for lack of a better description, get "clogged." It might not be a bad idea to back up critical data and then do a fresh install of the operating system and applications. You should also make sure that Office is being updated. I want to say that with Office 2000, it needs to be updated manually. You'll also need the original disc to do the updates. Of course, you should have current anti-virus software running and run malware software on a regular basis.

I think I solved my own problem. I went back to Microsoft Word, and pushed open. Then I can change or add.
