I'd like Word 2002 have always the same (reduced) set of columns in the Open
window, let say "Name" and "Date Modified". I desactivate the unnecessary
ones, but Word always imposes "Size" and "Type" columns. How can I force Word
to remember my preferences in that matter?

You have to write your own custom dialog - a non-trivial task.
