what exactly does this mean:

"You could have a hidden column that you could use as the sort criteria - i.e. Red = 1, blue = 2, yellow = 3, etc. Pull your sort off the hidden column. This is the only way that I know to make that work."

i know about hidden columns and everything...but i cant figure out the other part about making red = 1 and the sort criteria stuff.

anything to get me on the right track would be awesome.

Thanks.

Earlier today when I started my computer it said that it didnt have something in it, it said could be error or you need to reinstall, I didnt know what to do so I did system recovery, after the recovery was gone all the icons in my desktop was gone and my computer started as a brand new computer. I wanted to do system restore but it said I needed a restore point which I didnt have, is there any other way I can restore my stuff back?

I send faxes via fax tools on my computer - do not have an independent fax machine. I do not know how to receive faxes. The software says to make sure fax tools is up (it is) and is set to receive mode (it is) but when my phone rings, it goes to my answering machine (those little irritating beeps) and then hangs up) and no fax is received. I think I know the problem but not sure. I do have a HP56 modem plugged in which I use to send faxes but my Internet server is FIOS. Maybe to receive I have to change the setup of the software to reflect Fios as the modem and not my HP56 modem. If so, I do not know how to do that. Any suggestions. Thanks.

Example: I have two pages with different headings/margins separated by a section break. If I delete the section break, the second page's header and page margins replace the first pages.

How can I delete the section break (and second page), without ruining the integrity of my first page?
