Running Vista and just installed Office 2007 (Home and Student edition)

1. When I click on Open or Save As I get a Folder Tree, not the standard
Word menu (I hope I am using the correct term for the dialog box I am looking
for). The Tree is the same as the Tree you see in Windows Explorer.

2. How can I get the traditional menu? Without that menu I have lost my
ability to use the "My Places Bar" upon which I was greatly dependent. I have
the Help instructions for using My Places in Word 2007 but the menu view does
not permit me to implement those instructions.

Please work with me if you do not understand my problem as this is VERY
important to me. I have over 14,000 Word files in hundreds of folders and I
need to quickly set up the My Places list (which I can't do because I don't
have the traditional menu setup but merely a Tree.
