In the Write window's menu, View|Contacts Sidebar, or F9.

Click on "name" to sort by name. Click again to reverse the sorting order.

Sounds simple enough but my Write option doesn't have a view, contacts sidebar option, if I right click it. If I left click, it opens up for me to write a message. Appreciate your help.

Did you try F9?

How on earth do you use the Write window without a menu or toolbar?

Open the Write window, then use F10 or alt, then View|Toolbars and tick the checkboxes.

I do have a menu and toolbar. I also tried F9 and F10 and nothing happened.

Please show us a screenshot of your Write window.

If you need help to create a screenshot, please see How do I create a screenshot of my problem?

Once you've done this, attach the saved screenshot file to your forum post by clicking the Browse... button below the Post your reply box. This will help us to visualize the problem.

Thanks for your time and help. I am going to take this issue and another issue to my computer tech Monday. Thank you.
