Office should prevent naive users from saving files directly onto floppies
The mournful tales of users who save files from Office
programs directly to floppy disks are too many to relate. There should be a default setting in Office that prevents this. At the very least Office programs should provide heads-up warnings on the order of "You are about to try and save a directly to a 1.4 megabyte floppy disk. This Is Not A Good Idea. Save the file on your hard disk and copy it to the floppy with Windows Explorer." A convenient access to Windows Explorer from within Office programs wouldn't be a bad thing either. -- Bob Kanyak's Doghouse http://www.kanyak.com |

I agree with the idea for a shortcut to explorer...I work entirely from
explorer instead of using the open icons in most office applications and it took awhile for me to even find it (under accesories) when I switched to Windows xp recently. I guess I am just resistant to change....so I have a shortcut icon on my desktop now!

shortcut to explorer.
I have a button on my toolbar assigned to the following macro, which opens an explorer window with the current file's folder: Sub OpenCurrentFolder() On Error Resume Next Dim CurFold As String CurFold = Application.ActiveWindow.Document.Path Call Shell("c:\windows\explorer.exe /e, " & CurFold, vbNormalFocus) End Sub |
