How can I view files by date in Word 2002?
Sometimes I need to see my files in date-order, rather than alphabetical
order. How can I do that -- Dean |

Dean,
In the File open dialogue there is a button which allows you to view the contents of a folder in different ways, click on the arrow next to it and choose details (not sure about the wording), you will now see different columns, one being the date of the document, click on the title above the column and the files will be sorted by date. Click again and you will sort the other way round. Luc "Dean" schreef in bericht news Sometimes I need to see my files in date-order, rather than alphabetical order. How can I do that -- Dean |

I knew there had to be an easier way - I downloaded FileFolder, but it took
30 minutes to get the directory copied, cleaned up so I could see just the name, size and date. This will be great! Thanks, Luc.

Although the Views menu and clicking on the headings is very easy, an
alternate method is also available. If you right-click on an empty area of the window, you can select View | Details (or any of four other views, which don't, however, include Properties or Preview) and Arrange Icons | By Date (or other order). What you lose in the latter instance is the ability to reverse the sort order; you can do that only by clicking twice on a heading in Details view. -- Suzanne S.
