One thing that is new with Windows 7, and possibly Vista, but I did not
have Vista, so can't be sure of that one, is that once you are in the
save or open window, if you tab through the options, there is one item
which indicates you can hide or show folders. If you want to be able to
choose your folder, click on the (press enter on the)show folders
button. If you always want to use the same folder, you may do the same
with the hide folder button and have fewer items to tab through.
This little trick is not just for Office.

Hi,
I am not going to complain about how much I don't like Windows 7. I
am not going to mention how productive I have become with XP and
Office '03. I'm just going to say I've made a commitment to spend at
least two hours a day on the Windows 7 notebook the boss gave me and
somehow get around the curve.
I am making some progress. Seems like the more I learn though, the
more I am amazed someone somewhere called this new O/S more
intuitive. But I'm not going to go there. Instead I'll ask my
question for the day by comparing how I did the task in XP and look
for pointers on how to do the same thing in7.
The Open and Save dialogs.
In XP in an Open or Save dialog, I would first press alt plus I to
place focus on the Look In field, or Save In field as the case may be.
Then I could down and up arrow to find the desired root location. Tab
once took me to a row of handy buttons. Tab again took me to another
row of handy buttons. Tab a third time took me to a folder/file list
where I could drill down to where I wanted to go, find a file to open
or tab again to a filename filed and name a file .
When I press alt plus I in a Windows 7 Open or Save dialog I get an
error beep. I tab around, but never hear anything about a Look In or
Save In.
Tips, and suggestions on recommended reading are humbly requested.
Sincerely,
Donald E. Bowen, Jr.
