hiya, thanks for the reply. It's not the my places bar that's the problem. You know when you open a normal windows file explorer window and you can set that so that it shows a folder bar ie the window splits into two columns where one is the folder tree structure and the other is the files therein. Well that's what I want to see when i select file>open or save as in word. does that help.. cheers

Hi, word 2003. in windows explorer i can set the folder bar to show in all drives/folders so that windows explorer shows the folder list in the left hand pane and the folder contents in the right hand pane. How can i set this to be the same in word. Such that the explorer window that opens in word when i want to open or save a file, has the same layout as mentioned above. Sorry if that's unclear. I have some screenies if that would help. Is this possible to change word to operate in this way. So far i can't find a way. Is there a reg hack ? thanks in advance, morag
