Word shortcuts
Word 2000.
Is there a way to have 3 folders on my desktop with each linked to a different folder? For example, I want a shortcut that will start Word and, on File|Open, will default to the folder Office|Suppliers and another shortcut that, will start Word but will default on File|Open to Office|Customers. |

You should download the Placebar Customizer utility. The Placebar is the
area down the left side of the File Open/File Save dialogs which normally is populated by folders you never use. The utility lets you easily edit the placebar to add shorcuts to the folders that YOU normally use. This is far better than having to close and open a different session of Word.

Oops!
It was definitely available as free download but seems to have disappeared recently (maybe because Office 2000 is 9 years and 3 version old)! However, the linked MSKB article tells you have you can do this manually http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q205041/ Or you can download an alternative Placebar Customizer from here http://www.thezjooj.is-a-geek.com/downloadsNEW.asp Terry "Stan Brown" wrote in message t...

Hi Terry,
Another place bar customizer for Office 2000 is the one by Romke Soldaat. It's still avaialable from http://community.compuserve.com/n/pf...ffice&tid=6589 (the link to it on the Word MVPS article on customizing the places bar http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customizat...enSaveDlgs.htm probably needs to be updated Graham's article on customizing the places bar at http://www.gmayor.com/customize_the_word_places_bar.htm has the link to the customizer you mentioned. ========== "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ...
