no my places bar
I downloaded the trial of home and student Office 2007 and am trying to
learn Word 2007. When saving or opening, I am used to having an area letting me choose a favorite location to save or open in. You know, click file save as click "favorites" or network locations,etc, and then the favorite location to save in. I see references to "my places" on lots of help sites and that sounds like what I need. But I cannot find any "my places" bar on the open or save dialog. All I get is a tree where I have to manually locate the folder I want to use. I have subdivided my documents into many subfolders and the word folder is subdivided into about 4 topics. That's a lot of searching each time. Why don't I have a my places bar, how can I get it (if at all)? I'm trying to smile through this huge change after almost 20 years of knowing Word's interface :-) Thanks |

no my places bar
You would still have a Places Bar in Word 2007 running under Windows XP. If
you have Vista, however, you instead have a sort of Favorites folder list. It is possible to add files and folders to the favorites (by dragging), but it is not (IMO) as satisfactory as the Places Bar. -- Suzanne S.
