open file dialog question

[ChrisBainbridge]

In Word 2003 I have the system set so that if I type any part of the name of
a file all the files containing that part show up and I can then choose the
correct one, eg

folder contains files:

report on smith
report on fred
report on fred 2
report on james
typo on frederick

If I type fred into the open dialog box I get a list of all the files
containing fred:

report on fred
report on fred 2
typo on frederick

and then I can choose which one I want. This does not seem available in
Word 2007, that I can find. Is there anyway of getting similar
functionality? I can no longer remember how I did it in Word 2003 either!

Thanks

Chris

You are almost there
Type *fred* into the filename dialog and press enter. You will get all the
filenames containg fred
Type fred* into the dialog and press enter. You will get all the filenames
beginning with fred
