Standard save-as/open dialog box

Hello All

Is it possible to get MS word 2000 (MS Small Business) to use the same open
and save-as dialog box format as everything else in my Win98 computer? I
have freeware that lets me customized the open/save-as locations so I don't
have to drill all the time, but it works to the standard dialog box and not
that odd one they have program into Using the Word save-as history button
sometimes helps some, but it creates a list that I have to drill through
anyway.

I'm doubtful there's a workaround for this, but maybe someone here has
something.

Thanks.

Well, you don't need a 3rd-party app to change the default location. Just go
to Tools-Options-File Locations, or create yourself a macro that'll open to
the folder you want.

Thank you Anne

Yes, that's sort of a work-around. But that requires me manually to create a
new
macro for each new location. Also, it doesn't work between different
programs. The free app I'm using (Quick Folders)
automatically adds my most recent save-as/open-as locations and then drops
them over time. It adds a little icon to the standard dialog box. That real
convenient because if I create a new project folder, I can save a Word
document to it, then later for example and an HTML document and email etc.
Very convenient.



Thanks again.
