Show multiple file types to open?

[Alan]

I should like to be able to set the Word file open dialog
to show all files with either the .doc or .rtf extension.

I have the following at present

With Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen)
.Display
.Name = "*.doc; *.rtf"
End With

But that only offers RTF files. Is it possible to get Word
to show both? If so how?

Thanks

You're looking for a filefilter functionallity here.

Unlike Excel in which you can set the FileFilter property
of GetOpenFileName(), in Word you can't.

You'll have to use the Windows Fileopen common dialog
