"Open File" dialog box?
Greetings,
I hope that I can properly explain what I'm trying to accomplish. Here it goes: I have Microsoft Word 2002 with SP3. When I click "File" and "Open," a dialog box appears so that I can find the file that I want to open. Here's my question: On the left-hand side of the dialog box, there's a pane. In the pane, I have the options to go to "History," "My Documents," "Desktop," "Favorites," and "Network Places." Is it possible to add another folder to that pane? If I highlight and right-click one of those above-mentioned options in the "pane" area, it gives me the option to "Open," "Remove," "Move Up," "Move Down," "Rename," "Large Icons," or "Small Icons." The "Remove" and the "Rename" options are greyed out, which means that I am unable to remove or rename; and there isn't an "Add" option. How do I add another folder to that area? I hope I explained this properly, and I hope that someone can help me. Sincerely, a4t9rs |

First navigate to the folder that you want to add. Then click the
Tools button in the upper right corner of the dialog and choose "Add to My Places".
