Hi Manuel,

I am not quite sure what you asking here.  OpenOffice.org as well as 
Word looks in the "Documents folder" for files.  If your using a 
different location for different types of documents the you will have to 
'browse" for them each time.  Under Tools > Options > Paths you can set 
the base directory that OpenOffice.org will start in when looking for 
documents to open.

The easiest way I have found to open documents is go to the location and 
open it from there, as I have documents scattered across several folders 
on several disk.

Hope this helps some.

ps.  Please start your own thread and not hijack someone else's.

Andy
