In Word 2003, I was able to add locations to the shortcuts on the left side
of the Open and Save As dialog boxes. I can't figure out how to do this in
Word 2007. Any ideas?

Hi Tim,

In Word 2007 navigate to the folder you want to add then right click in the places bar on the left side of the Open or Save dialog
and choose 'Add'.

Thanks. That works. So how do I remove some of the defaults in the list?
The folder at the top is called "Trusted Templates" (I'm not even sure what
that is), and apparently can't be removed or even moved down the list. Any
ideas?

If Word 2007 is like previous versions, you can't remove the default
"places" except by editing the Registry (which affects your ability to add
new places), but you can move them down. If your custom places fill the
Places Bar, the default ones will be hidden.

Hi Tim,

As Suzanne mentioned the 'default' choices in the File Open/File Save 'Places Bar' are in the registry.

You can hide most of the built-ins by modifying the registry for Word 2000 and higher using the techniques shown in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826214/en-us?FR=1


For Office 2007 the 'Trusted Templates' are sort of tied to the settings in Word 2007 under
Office Button-Word Options=Trust Center=Trust Center Settings
for 'Trusted Locations'
But, even if you disable the trusted locations choice there it still appears in File=Open and it doesn't, at first look, appear to
be an item that fan be hidden from the registry entry mentioned in the article above.

Glad it worked for you. I'm so confused I'm ready to scream. Word 2007,
Vista Business. The My Places Bar does not seem to exist. On the left of my
File pen and File Save As Boxes I have a list that starts with "Favorite
Links", "Templates", "Documents", etc., then a area called "Folders".
Nowhere does it look like or behave like the My Places Bar from 2003. The
help window inside Office 2007 shows a different box than the one that opens
in Word 2007. I've Googles. I've searched microsoft.com and found nothing,
except for Tim's post with the question and his response "That works". Can
anyone help. I've been using Word for years and am pretty proficient, so
this is really hassling me. Thanks in advance.
