File, Open, My Recent Documents?
In word, when I want to open a file, how do I make it display My Recent
Documents, when I do File Open? Related questions, when I open My Computer, how do I make it display Control Panel first? |

Not really sure you'll like the results, especially if you accidentally
store documents there, as that folder contains only shortcuts to documents [usually] stored elsewhere. That said... My Recent Documents is usually something like the following: C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Recent In my case, for example, the location is: C:\Documents and Settings\Herb\Recent If you choose Tools - Options - File locations, and set the Documents location to that (your corresponding folder) location, then File - Open will default to that location each time Word is opened, until you explicitly navigate to a different folder. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "pkferret" wrote in message ...

For the word question, I am only asking when I go into File Open, not when
I open Word in the beginning.

2. My Recent Documents lists about 20 of the most recent files you visited.
