You can easily do it in windows explorer.

As long as nothing inside a folder is selected, the first item on the file menu is a submenu for new, and normally the first item in that submenu is 'folder'.

Aside from that, when saving a document from word, if you shift tab from the file name field to the folder file listing, and if nothing there is selected either, right clicking brings up a context menu on which is also a new submenu with the same contents.

Either way, this will put you in a sort of edit field where you can type the name of the new folder, and then hit enter to save it, and then hit enter on it to in fact enter it.

Two other things are that when in a folder list like this, backspace will move you up one level without deleting anything unless you're busy typing the name of the new folder, and to toggle selection of the current item, use the key combo of Ctrl + space, and as long as you hold down the Ctrl key, you can use the cursor to move around without changing selection unless you then also hit the space bar to toggle selection on the then current item.

Stay well

Subject: [Blind-Computing] can you create a folder within a folder usingWord 2003


Hi list,
I have a folder that I created in "My Documents Folder" for a unit for my studies. Within that folder, I have several files I would like to group together into a folder of their own within the existing folder. I have other files within the original folder, that won't be going within this subfolder. Is what I want to do possible? I think it is, as my university does it when they supply me with text books within a subject folder. And each book, then has each chapter listed separately within that book's own folder.
thanks Jason
