Ummmm I tend to save files in directories for projects or clients or the like OR ..../year/month/file.name A suggestion if you are using Windows, find and install the free version of PowerDesk. It's a file manager that WinExplorer is starting to catch up with but that is a side issue. There is a mini program called pdhelper (some versions a .dll and others a .exe) which helps navigate when opening & saving files. It adds 2 icons to the top bar of the open (or save as) dialogue box where it 'keeps track' of opened files and folders. Eg to open a file you have used in OOo before, click open and click the 'new' file icon and you get a list of files you have used. Similarly, if you want to open a file in a folder that you use often, click open|folder icon and get a list of folders. Sadly it doesn't (or didn't last time I tried) work with MS apps - MS in their wisdom disable its function somehow. It's one of the utilities that I miss since moving away form windows.
