You can still put shortcuts to anything you like in your Favorites folder
and put the Favorites folder on your Places bar. The only thing that is
missing is the "Add to Favorites" button in the dialog.

If you are referring to setting some Word files/folders as favorites in
Word
2003, it appears that the powers-that-be in Redmond have decided we don't
need that any more. We are supposed to enjoy the My Places thingie. My
Places (actually, they aren't mine: they would be yours, but we are stuck
with Microsoft lingo) is actually fine for a few bookmarks, particularly
if
they don't change too much. But no more Word favorites. I am sure
somebody
out in Redmond could explain why we don't need something we have relied on
for a long time, if you could actually ask somebody. Maybe that's why the
Crabby Office lady is so crabby these days.

I have worked around this by creating a "Place" for Word bookmarks. Then
using Windows Explorer I find the files/folders I want to bookmark and
mark
them thusly in Win Explorer. It's pretty klutzy, but until somebody shows
me a better way, it is the only way I can think of to still use Word
bookmarks..
