I think the OP is talking about the ability in Word 97 to type the first few
letters of a filename into the Filename box in the Open dialog and have Word
jump to the appropriate portion of the file list and also AutoComplete the
filename if it is in the MRU list.

I'm not sure of what you are referring to. Did you see the drop down
list in the File/Open dialog? If so, where exactly?

When I opened a file in word 97 a drop down would list appear and
list all
the recent files used with a similar name.

Is there anyway to activate this in word 2003?
