Add To Favorites

[Keith]

I recently upgraded from Office XP to Office 2003.
Previously in Excel for Office XP, when you selected File | Open...there is
a menu for Tools and drop down menu. I used to be able to select a file and
then Tools and Add to Favorites. Now that I have upgraded to Office 2003, I
am unable to do so. Is there a way to add that option in there?

Word, Excel and PowerPoint 2003 do not include Favorites on the list a
the left if you go to File, Open. Some people very much want that. Her
are the two alternatives:

HOW TO ADD FAVORITES TO THE LIST OF PLACES:
1. Open Word or Excel or PowerPoint 2003.
2. Click File, Open.
3. Browse to C:\Documents and Settings\userid
(where you'd replace "userid" with your own userid)
4. Highlight Favorites, but do not open it.
5. Click the down-arrow by Tools
6. Select "Add to 'My Places'"
Favorites will appear in the list on the left. You can move it up o
down by right-clicking on it and selecting the appropriate menu option


HOW TO ADD A PARTICULAR FOLDER TO THE LIST OF PLACES:
Follow the same steps as above, except in steps 3 and 4 you'd find an

highlight that folder.
