Thanks Chris CA.

Do this…

Select everything in the list.
Go to menu Format > Table > Convert text to table
Select all cells
Go to the Inspector.
Select Table icon (7th across the top)
Under the Table tab, click the gear after Edit Rows & Columns drop down and select Sort Ascending (or Descending)
Go to menu Format > Table > Convert table to text

Or it is in the Services menu also. (just saw that)

Pages wont type in black text

Peggy solves the problem!

It appears you are having a common problem many users of Snow Leopard are having. There are two things you may not have done.

First, use the Mac OS 10.6.4 combo updater. This fixes a problem with the Hoefler Text font that is not fixed using the delta update (10.6.1 > 10.6.2). The 10.6.3 combo updater also fixed the problem, but it’s best to use the most recent.

Second, make sure your iWork applications are updated. For iWork ’08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork ’09 it’s Pages 4.0.3 & Numbers 2.0.3. If you’re not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn’t have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork ’08 or iWork ’09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork ’08 or iWork ’09. If it doesn’t have the ’08 or ’09 Software Update won’t find them & the updaters won’t work.
