Yes you can. The column down the left side of the Save dialog ( in fact, all
the File, SaveAs, Save and Open dialogs) is called the Places Bar. You can
add to this by navigating to and selecting a particular folder you want
added and then click on the Tools Menu and choose Add to My Places. This
will place an icon shortcut to the folder on the Places Bar. You can then
move them up or down as required or right-click and rename them.

If you right-click the Places Bar, you can choose smaller icons so to get
more in view. The dialog is also resizable (it should remember the size you
closed it at and reopen that size) or you can double click the Title bar to
maximise it.

You can get rid of the standard icons if you wish but it needs a registry
hack. There's a Microsoft Knowledge Base article about it somewhere.

Hello, helpful MVP-types....

Wondering if it's possible to customize the options that appear in the
"save as" dialog box (Word 2003, WinXP.)

Example:

Open Word

Click "save as" or hit F12.

Box comes up, with buttons down the left side, "My Recent Documents,"
"Desktop," "My Computer," etc.

Is it possible to change those to, for example, a folder within "My
Documents?"

Thanks,
Dan
