I'd like to add something to Victoria's message. Before attempting to locate that "New" option in the file list, you have to make sure that the system isn't focused on any particular file. Once you are in the location where you want the new file or folder to be, press F5. That takes the focus away from any heading it might be targeted on. Now, press the Alt F and usually, the first choice will be "New" and in most displays of this type, the shortcut key will be a W.

As Rick always says,  HTH.

Have you tried to create a new folder with:
Alt F followed by W. Then hit Enter and type the Name of your new folder and hit Enter again.

That should do it.

Hello Shirley,

When you open the "save as" dialog box the edit box for typing a file name is in focus. Do three shift+tabs and then three left arrow keystrokes to get to the "create new folder" button. Press enter key or spacebar on the button.

You can also get the new folder dialog by doing a pass-through keystroke first (JAWS key plus 3 on the alphanumeric part of the keyboard) and then the Alt+5.

Take care.
