Change path to files
Currently, when I open MSWord for example, then go on to open a file, I am
presented with the "My Documents" file. I then have to scroll to the Word documents line, and click that. Is there a way to cut out this, what seems to be unnecessary, step? (Wasn't sure if this should have been asked in the MSWord group, but since the same thing happens in Excel and PPT, I decided to try here)

Interesting that Word allows you to browse to the file folder you want to
specify. PPT and Excel don't: you have to type it in............... "Gordon" wrote in message ... "Happy" wrote in message ...

"DL" address@invalid wrote in message ... What exactly do you mean by ' word documents line' ? Sorry, what I mean is that when you click File Open you arrive at "Office Word Documents" instead of "My Documents" which is where mine was. Now that I see the solution, it is simple............ but I couldn't see an apparent solution before.

There is a Freeware app, FileEx, that allows you to do this (PLUS MUCH
MORE), for any application, not just Office. "Happy" wrote in message ... Currently, when I open MSWord for example, then go on to open a file, I am presented with the "My Documents" file.
