Word '03 Save dialog: folders not alphabetical

[Paul B]

I just noticed that Word is not alphabetizing the folders under
My Docs. I then opened My Docs in Windows Explorer, and they were
alphabetized. I don't see any way to correct this very confusing
situation.

Thanks for any help.

Click the Name heading in the Open dialog box to sort by that column.

I would love to, but while the Open dialog box has column
headers, the Save one does not! Can you figure that out?

A ha! I can, however, sort while in the Open dialog and it
affects subsequent Save dialogs. What a deficient arrangement.

Thanks,

In the Save As dialog box, you should see the columns and their headings if
you choose to display folder contents in Details view.

 

[Paul B]

Just so. But no credit to MS, the reason for that distinction
completely escapes me.

Thanks,
p.

Unless you choose Details view, there are no columns to display.
