Ann, Thanks for the many hot keys, PC and the others.

I don't understand your explaining how to open a text file. Perhaps you mean to open a recent document.

You say:

While you are in the open dialog, tab once to 'type' and put in txt.

What is what you call the "open dialogue"? Perhaps we are in different places.

I use ctrl+o and I hear "backstage, open tab".

There is a list of recently opened documents.

I tab and arrow around, and there is no word "type". Perhaps this is the problem using the ribbon, when do I tab and when to arrow? Arrow up or down, or left or right.

I know about using the Windows key to open a search box. If I type in a text file name then Notepad opens that file.

I need to open a non-recent text file from inside WORD. How do I get an edit box, into which I can type the path/filename, from inside WORD?

Thanks.

Also. If you are using windows 7 or later, you can type the document name in the search field that you get when you press the windows key, and bypass 'open' altogether.

Good luck!
