Another possibility is opening the Windows folder that contains the
documents. The folder will of course stay open until you close it.

No, it was the dialog box that I meant. However I like the look of
the task pane controller.

When you say File Open, do you mean the File Open dialog or the
Task Pane (usually clinging to the right side of the Window)? If
you mean Task Pane, then you need the Task Pane Controller Add-in
from he http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customizat...owTaskPane.htm

I click on File Open and a dialog box appears.
I filter the displayed file names using a selection of wild cards.
I open one of the displayed files, which has two effects:
1) The selected file is opened, and
2) The File Open dialog box disappears.
I find the second of these effects to be undesirable, because
frequently

I
have at a later point to open another file from a list that I have

filtered
using the same criteria as before.
It is a small thing, I know, but it is it possible to configure
Word so

that
the "file open" dialog box closes only when expressly prompted by
the

user
to close it?
