I use Vista Home Basic with Word 2003. When I am in Word and want to look at
folders and files I either click on the open file icon or click on the word
"file" then on "open". My default view is set to "DETAILS" as I find it
helps me to see the date, time, etc. for a document.

Here's the problem: The details categories are empty. At the top of the
viewing box where the titles of the categories are supposed to be listed, the
only category listed is "Name", then there is only one other space for a
category title and it is blank. It used to list not only the title, but
other category headings (such as date, size, etc.) and then list the details
below. But somewhere along the line it quit doing so.

When I use "Open" from the Windows "Start" button the details are listed.
But I need the details listed when I use "Open" from Word - the way it used
to.

I have tried sliding the vertical divider lines that divide the category
titles to see if maybe the lists were just off the edge of the page, but to
now avail. There remains just the two columns. (The title col. and the
blank col.) I've tried resetting the default and it doesn't change or fix it.

Can anyone help with this? I'll be most grateful. Thank you!

In the File/Open dialog box, right-click on the "Name" title bar and
select each detail you wish to see.
