This must be possible... at least you would sure hope so. The default "View" in open and save dialog boxes across the MS Office 2003 (and prior versions) of an alpha list is almost never useful to me or my colleages. How do I get ALL open and save dialog boxes to default to "Details" AND ordered by most recent files first (i.e., by most recent "date modified", so I can see the dates. With many docs in a folder who can remember the name of the most recent version of a file... If it was at the top of my list all the time, many hours a year of wasted time changing the view and tons of key clicks on my 54 year olde fingers would be saved. Please help! Cant think of a single person I have mentioned this problem to who do not agree!!! Fix it MS, or if it is doable currently... there is no Help "query" that every produces a relevent answer... so fix that!

- 1. Problem with "after 60 days" in Word only
Hi ! I have a bad problem. I have Office 7 Enterprize (Fullsize not Beta or 60 day Office) and have used it for about 3 months. Suddenly last week I get a window when I opened Word that said it wanted a disknumber and when I clicked ON then I got another windows asking for a activationnumber and then Word closes. If I run any other Office program like Excel or Publisher then everything is fine. Can anyone help me with this ?? - 2. Is Word 2000 *.doc format the same as Word 2003 *.doc format?
When I read in an article or tutorial about the MS Word 2000/XP *.doc format. Is it exactly the same as the MS Word 2003 *.doc format? If not: What are the differences? Camille - 3. make my own lined writing paper
i am a new computer user and cannot find any writing paper with lines - 4. Automatic separators (?)
I'm using Word in Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007. When I press the Enter key, the cursor goes down to the next line and a double-line appears (this double-line extends across the page). Then, everytime I press the Enter key, the cursor goes down to the next line and the double-line appears. How do I stop the double-lines from appearing?

Look at the top row of the Open File dialogue, one of the tools allows you to select the view (same as Windows Explorer), in Detail view you can select the column to sort by and the order (little arrow, top of the list). It's always been there!

Sorry "Me"... you did not read my question correctly. Of course "View" lets me change it to "details"... rather than only alpha... I said that! I want the DEFAULT!!! "view" on sauch dialogs (meaning every time I open a save or save dialog box) to be in "Details" view mode... not having to change it 50 times a day from alpha with every opening of a save or open dialog box in the entire office suite... The time and keystoke waste is HORRIBLE!

It should retain the last settings used (always has for me).
