file open/views/details set details as default
When I OPEN a file, I would like my VIEWS to always be set as DETAILS. How
can I set this to be the permanent and forever default, ...so that for every time, for all files and all folders the VIEW is always set to be DETAILS? Thanks! |

Hi Xorren,
Welll, can't guarantee 'forever' and depending on your version of Office the open and save dialogs may exhibit 'independent thinking' g, but generally, in Windows Explorer Tools=Folder Options and when you set the folders decide if you want to let individual folders 'remember' their last settings. =================== "xorren" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Bob. But that recommnedation did not work. I am using Vista and
tried your suggestion, but no luck. I hear the voice of Obi-wan saying something about "open source", but I can't quite hear him clearly. Thanks, again.

Hi Xorren,
Settings are a bit different in Vista, one of the folks who are actively using it may be able to help with that version. By the way, Microsoft has a couple of Open Source websites/projects they support g, but not sure how that relates to the current issue ============== "xorren" wrote in message ... Thanks, Bob.

Have you tried right-clicking the "Name" header in the Details view? You should get a menu where you can check the items you want to see, including "Date modified". Whatever settings you choose should stay chosen, even through a reboot. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Thanks... It worked. !
Actually I do recall it was Okay earlier -- and when it was lost I had thought it is possibly related to some ServPack or security update. I'll see if it stays on recalling the detailed column selections across drives and from different office modules. Thanks again.

file open/views/details set details as default in VISTA
I have the same problem on a Vista laptop and Word 2003. I can get the
details view that I want, go into properties view and say apply to all folders and sub folders. Open next folder and details remain. If I click on My Computer I see the drives without the extended details. I then click on the original drive and the folders have lost their details, even go down the original folder path as before, all I have is the 'Name' column. My steps: In my z:\Projects folder right-click blank column heading, select Size as column heading 'Size' appears as column heading right-click blank column heading, select Date Modified as column heading 'Date Modified' appears as column heading right-click blank column space, select Properties, then Customize, then checkbox Also apply this template to all subfolders. Select OK goto z:\Projects\Temp I have 'Name', 'Size', 'Date Modified' column headings. go back to Z:\Projects folder, headings are still there. Goto 'My Computer', 'Name' is the only heading goto Z:\Projects and 'Name' is again the only heading Goto z:\Projects\Temp and 'Name' is again the only heading.
