Add to Favorites Missing in Word 2003

[Ardell]

I've found where Suzanne Barnhill said : "Instead of adding the (Windows)
Favorites folder to the places bar, why don't you create a Favorites folder
in Word and add shortcuts to your most-used documents there, then add that
folder to the Places Bar?"

Can someone give me a step-by-step on how to do this? It sounds so simple,
but I can't get it to work. Thank you so much for your help.

Do you know how to create a folder? (Hint: There's a button for it on the
File Open/Save dialog toolbar.) Do you know how to add a folder to the
Places Bar? See http://www.gmayor.com/customize_the_word_places_bar.htm

Do you know how to create a shortcut? (Hint: It's on the right-click menu
when you select a file in one of those folders.) All that remains is to drag
the created shortcut from the folder it's created in (the one where the
document resides) to the Favorites folder you created.

FWIW, I find the Work menu more satisfactory for frequently used files (up
to 9). See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/WorkMenu.htm
