Question
This is a re-post from 11-22-06.
The original question was: A while back, I put a shortcut to a file folder on the menu bar in Word 2003. I can't remember how I did this? Could you maybe explain what I did please? What exactly happens when you click this shortcut? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP See http://www.gmayor.com/customize_the_word_places_bar.htm -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Hmmm. I took this to mean the main menu bar in Word? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP On rereading, I suspected you were right, but since many users don't know the name of the Places Bar, I took a chance. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Graham, Yes. I meant the main menu bar. However, continuing my search, I came across an article that dealt with a similar problem and actually fixed the problem. I found an article written by John McGhie on the MVP site, "Restoring Customizations Saved in Normal". I had recently lost the tool bars I created. After reading his article, I followed his instructions and retrieved my tool bars that included the shortcuts I am referring to. ***My original question is unanswered. The shortcuts open the folder in My Documents in Windows Explorer that hold the files and folders I frequently use. Very handy!! I jsut can't remember how I accomplished creating the shortcuts.*** Thank you, MoJR The answer to Grahahm's question is, "The shortcuts open the folder in My Documents in Windows Explorer that hold the files and folders?" I would like to know what exactly I did to make this happen? Thank you, MoJR |

Question
The thread stopped because we had no idea how you did this. There is no
function in Word to do so, so presumably you created a macro to do what you want - and as you have not answered my last question we cannot even take a stab at suggesting how to do that. There are three tools in Word that make it easy to access regularly used files - and they are the recent file list, the Work menu and the Places bar - the Places Bar makes the most sense as this is available from all Word file operation windows. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org MoJR wrote: This is a re-post from 11-22-06.

Question
To add to what Graham has said, only the Places Bar has links to *folders*
as opposed to single files. -- Suzanne S.

There is another possibility - you can create a Hyperlink to a folder from a

Question
Everyone,
The mystery was solved by Tony Jollans. I did indeed create a hyperlink. I'm not sure why I didn't remember this, but..... Thank you all very much for helping me.
