Default Adding a folder to "Look in"

Sorry, I don't know the name assigned to this, but when you go to File, Open
in Word you get a list of locations on the left hand side that allow you to
go directly to the folders listed there. Is there a way to add to this list?
Thanks.

The official name of that panel is "Places Bar". See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...enSaveDlgs.htm for
instructions.

Gotcha. When I try to do this, the "Add to "My Places" " option is greyed
out. How can I modify to get this option?

This is called the Places Bar, and it is quite easy to add to it in Word
2002 and 2003, more difficult but still possible in Word 2000. See

You must have a folder selected before the menu item is active.
